Your x-box comments are funny. I am going to just guess I have been around more good horses in the last week than you have been around in your life. If you want to appreciate horses you go in the mornings or you go to the farm. The paddock and racing give zero indication of the beauty of the animal.
Watching races live is pointless, especially at Belmont. There could be 20,000 there and it still feels like a ghost town. Even at Saratoga it is better to watch on television than live. What do you get a 2 second glimpse of the horses sitting on the rail. You miss all the strategy sitting on the rail.
And opening day in baseball is useless. Nobody cares.

Then it is pretty clear that horse racing is nothing more than a gambling outlet to you not any different than poker, slots or scratch off tickets. That's cool, your type is a main cash cow in the industry but I like more as a sport. And if I make a few bucks, great.
And since I don't know you and don't know if are personally around horse all day or not. Don't really care actually.
