I will say this... not wagering and not having video, but being fortunate enough to listen to the race on the horse racing radio show REALLY helped me appreciate the race! The Del Mar race caller (don't know his name) did a BRILLIANT job of describing exactly what was happening. It was RIVETING!!

At the end of the day, my opinions were completely wrong, and it's a good thing I didn't get to bet. On a normal betting Saturday, I would have listened to the race caller with half an ear and concentrated on where my horses were.

So... Thank you Xpressbet. For the first time I got to enjoy horse racing like a fan of any other sport. Not a ummm (whispering) "gambler."
