cancer stories yes, valiant individual efforts to overcome it? for sure.
What i was referring to is more the industry reaction to it. The racing world just seems to me more close-knit, more compassionate. Not based on anything other than my gut so i could be wrong.
In the casino business do you really find heart-warming stories of how the casino owners, fellow gamblers and ****tail waitresses rally around in support of a stricken comrade? I can picture a big board in front of the slot machines where well wishers would sign cards and leave flowers for Eugene the stricken blackjack dealer.
Are there equivalent stories of people like the Jacksons or Mr Aleo? Maybe there are I hope so. It just seems like it may be a more bottom line oriented, colder business.
(oops so c*cktail is a bad word now?)
