![]() As far as the general public not knowing about the BC, it really is a shame. As a big fan of this game, I must say that BC day is my FAVORITE horse racing day of the year! The cards are always phenomenal, and we have some of the best horses from around the world going head to head. The industry definitely needs to market this day of racing better, although they did give it a good try last year with the movie Dreamer.

![]() Horse Racing will never be big again. People rather watch Celebrity Poker than horse racing. The sport ruined itself though with drugs and constant racing on a million tracks. Go to a track and sit outside and only bet that track and you will be bored out of your mind.

A possibility. But for me, it was Secretariat and the Triple Crown. I watched those races and was forever stuck. Most of the people I know look at me like a foreign object. They all know Barbaro, they all knew Smarty Jones and some remember Afleet Alex. But not one of them heard of Ghostzapper. I must give some recongition to the BC races for trying to introduce racing to the general public. But so far it is not working. The tradition remains strong. The Kentucky Derby is the most popular race in the US. I will not be stuck with the fatal notion that horseracing in the US will never go anywhere. It WAS more popular than it is now. And again, if the X-games and NASCAR can get it done... |

I totally disagree with that statement. For me personally, that is a great day! I love sitting outside at a track (used to be the NY tracks, but now that I've moved its the Chicago tracks) and cap the races one at a time. I ALWAYS only play that track and I have a ton of fun. There is nothing quite like a weekend afternoon of beer, brats, and horse racing with friends and/or family. |
