Sense of humor is essential which makes us a great bunch to hang out with on any "Given Saturday".Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883305680460329957.post-19020183707673417222010-07-09T08:44:16.777-04:002010-07-09T08:44:16.777-04:00To "Anonymous",
First off, thanks for st...To "Anonymous",<br />First off, thanks for stopping by. Not sure if we are on the same page here. So let me explain...My title says, "people who love horseracing" This includes people who love horses, come to the track, bet a little, sometimes bet a lot, maybe get involved in some way more than just the wagering end. Maybe they are in a partnership, maybe they own a few mares, maybe they have a small farm, maybe they train a few in the summertime.<br />Maybe they have a few ex-racehorses that they have rehabilitated.Maybe they are horse owners who ride for pleasure or compete.<br />Maybe they have worked on the backside, maybe their kids take riding lessons. Maybe their dads took them to the races when they were young and they are keeping the tradition going. So, yes, in some form they are horse players.Now don't get me wrong, these same people do their handicapping just like me and you, but they were all brought into the game for the love of the horses and all the grand traditions that come with it.The gambling end of it, is part of the fun puzzle that they play every 20 minutes or so during a day at the races.Or on their phone accounts an other days. Just come over to my picnic table by the paddock at Saratoga,come to the backside at Belmont,meet me at Suffolk, find me at my special hideaway at Keeneland. These are my peeps.That's where we are.<br />You're welcome anytime.<br />Maybe you are just hanging with the wrong crowd.<br />Optimism is what's keeping this game alive, optimism is what gets you to turn the page of your program and go on to the next race. All horse players have it.
