Kind of like what happens when you give your teenage kid the family car for the afternoon.
Friends and I would watch them go from our vantage on a hill side, with binocs, and make side bets. I wonder if they still do it.
I guess racing is where you find it.
Once you find Saratoga, not much can compare.
i did chuckle at that....

i don't think the amish are allowed to wager
