To be honest I could care less about that, as long as I have respect from my wife and the few friends that count. Everyone else can say what they want.

I guess its because of the stereotype of horse player that one ses in OTBs. The bad rap hunting gets can also be attributed to the negative stereotype you see from hillbillies driving pick up trucks looking like they havent bathed in a longer time than the deer they are hunting and their badass attitude.

You arent erasing either one of these so if it means something to you go ahead and do it and dont listen to what others have to say. You only go around once baby.

yeah, my daughter had her first go 'round the other day about racing. i think she was a bit surprised at what the guy said. i told her she better get used to it. it's funny, i've been a fan of racing for years and years, but only recently started into the gambling part. still a very tentative bettor. she didn't expect the automatic equation of horse racing meaning gambling-meaning sin! lol

and too true about getting one trip--at least, i guess that's all we get. altho i have said before that in my next life, i want to be a middle linebacker in the nfl.
