Yep.

Horse racing is the ULTIMATE information game.

It is supposed to benefit FAR more from the tech, tv, and info advances of the last 100 years than any other sport.

It should be on top of the sports world and people should be betting so heavily and with so much passion ... that the bible beaters on the Right and the Do-Gooders on the Left should both be wringing their hands about the moral hazards and such.

The press was making national celeberites out of horseplayers a hundred years ago --- and to be honest -- other than the takeout rates -- the sport fucl<ing sucked at that time.

A steady diet of 5 horse fields at best - sh!t for information - I can't watch a horse race without seeing it on TV. No friggen exotic wagering at all! Sounds pretty miserable doesn't it?
