And what's with the pro-America nonsense in both episodes? Like there isn't horse racing anywhere else. Boo.
I noticed the "America" stuff too, but I think that is leading more to the idea of the "american dream" than patriotism. The idea that with hard work, perseverance, and a little luck... a person can get rich in this country.
Examples being Turo Escalante- immigrant who goes from selling carrots to top horse trainer. The jockeys, the gamblers, and I imagine Ace are going to be from humble beginnings as well. Think Horatio Alger more than Reagan.
