i'll tell you why i love horse racing over sports betting,slots and poker....its the HORSES. i love animals. i grew up in saratoga and theres nothing more beautiful than a healthy racehorse. it takes YEARS of breeding and training to get the ultimate athlete.(most don't even appreciate the work that goes on EVERY morning!) the takeout, the cheating and complaining aside....its the most exciting minute or two you can get especially if you enjoy handicapping. any moron can pull a switch or push a button...sports betting with the spread...you might as well toss a coin. poker is different...its a thinker too but you are sitting around in a room full of people....it does not come close to the track, theres no horses! i know theres problems....i bitch from time to time too. but for me, hands down, its the best entertainment where money can be made going...unfortunately i am becoming a dinosaur, so who knows what the future holds. this game has given me a lifetime of fun and excitment....from memorable races to partying in the "backyards" with friends and family....where else am i going to get that? and bet on it?.....no where!

Where can you go for a day of entertainment and not spend a dime beyond a paltry admission? Some tracks you can even bring your own booze and food. How good is that?
AND, if you choose to wager and have half a brain and do a bit of studying , you stand a good chance of coming home with some profit or maybe not losing a cent. I'd rather spend and lose money at the track than spend exponentially more at some of the concerts held at SPAC. And, yeah, those horses make it all worth it.
