some slight glimmers of truth, but he mostly comes off as a guy who went to the track himself maybe a handful of times and then decided to make some judgements that make me think hes an ass---. besides I personally do not do my gambling while drunk, Ive got enough of a challenge handicapping

Hadn't seen this one.. Thx for posting it Curt.
Yet another ill-informed opinion. Dan Wetzel should stick to fantasy baseball and his similar high brow contributions to sports journalism. It is remarkable how much ignorant commentary this episode has produced... And not just from outside the pale of racing.

Something had to fill the vacuum of commentary from the leaders of the horseracing industry.
Where do we vote for Racing Czar? Is that one of Dinny's Committees?

Oddly enough, I found this part of the article to be right on:
To call the horses a secondary attraction for many fans is to vastly overstate their importance. It may be cruel and impolite to say but, for many fans, the horses are only slightly more valued than a bumper in NASCAR and only moderately more than a keno ball or an ace of clubs. The horses are nothing but the means by which all the drunken gambling is made both legal and socially acceptable. I'd have not added the "drunken" part but I think the rest is correct. Maybe not when talking about people who are really fans of the sport, like most of us on these message boards. But go spend a day at the track, listen to the people talk about which horses they bet. It seems like 90% of the time, they have no idea what the horse's name is or anything about him. The horse is just a number. A means to make money.
