Steve's right. I've given up trying to wish people into appreciating things that require mental energy. It just ends up making you depressed that it doesn't turn out as you'd wanted. I have Avalyn Hunter's American Classic Pedigrees and, yes, that's my idea of a good time. Well, one of them. Every now and again I get some hope, like when they made Seabiscuit, and now they're casting Secretariat (Diane Lane's Penny Chenery). I think there's a lot of muscle memory in our culture for a love of horse racing. One way to know that is they don't make movies about it if they don't think there'll be enough eyeballs to see them.
About seeing things improve in the sport, if Hialeah returns to its former glory, that, to me, would be cause for a party.
