i just don't understand the big deal about a kid being on a show, whether children are allowed at OTB's or not. seems that with a parent, they ought to be allowed. maybe instead of railing against a youth being on the show, there ought to be a fuss made about them not being allowed in an OTB with a parent/guardian.

I have no problem with the kid being on the show. His family is in the business, he grew up with horse racing, and obviously has some knowledge.
As far as kids in OTBs, I just think it's a bad idea. There are just too many degenerate parents, who would bring thier kids in and ignore them completely. I've seen it happen many times, even though kids aren't allowed.
