Does anyone like horse racing?

I've never paid much attention to horse racing, but the possibility of the first triple crown winner since 1978 has me intrigued.

Poor guy is a gelding, so after he finishes racing, he won't have the career that he might have.

Do you think Funny Cide has a shot? He is only competing against five other horses. That's not horrible odds.

Have you ever been to a horse race?

We have a track here in the Dallas area that is supposed to be very nice. It sounds like it might be fun to check it out.

Wow. Not much interest in horse racing.

Sorry Jim, but i guess we're just not as sophisticated as you

I watch the triple crown races if I can, but that's about it... i don't know much about the sport.

I've never even been to an event. I ought to give it a try to see if I do like it. I'm not much of a gambler though.
