Anyone on this board ever been to the track with someone who is cringing every time a race goes off at Belmont?
You have to be kidding me right?

hmmmm. interesting. everyone i ever mention racing to brings up horses they've heard of, or tracks they've been to. haven't had anyone yet mention breakdowns.
you must hang out with some very negative and depressed people.

i don't think acknowledging breakdowns is negative.

no, it's not
but to say most people watch every race with their hands over their eyes for most of it while waiting for tragedy is way off the mark...if you and your fellow racegoers do that every race like you suggested, well i don't know what to say to that!

I'm picturing this outpatient group from a manic depression/bi polar treatment center on a field trip to the track Zieg. Kinda like this "Watch out!!! Those hot dogs contain rodent parts!!!" "watch out!!! that money has been handled by thousands of people and carries dangerous germs!!!" "Watch out!!! Those horses are all gonna fall and die!!!!"
Sounds like a real hoot.

no, they'd never make it to the track in the first place, cause cars are dangerous. why i bet every driver is drunk...or the crowd is scaaary, germs, bacteria, there might be a storm.
how could anyone work up the nerve to talk to a teller to place a bet--it's a TOTAL STRANGER and all strangers are BAD. probably all child molesters.

yeah, that's it. let's all live in fear, waiting for something bad to happen. eventually, you'd be right!

I'm kinda guessing that Sumitas may suffer from OCD. I don't think thats really going out on a limb though.
