I know it's the Sport of Kings, and these beautiful animals (no intent of beastiality) cost millions of dollars, but I use to work as a Para Mutual, and it just seemed 90% of the fans were just plain trash.

If you have ever seen the movie "Let It Ride", the characters in that movie are a perfect example.

Probably. We all do trashy things, though.

Horse racing is not trashy. The idiots who go watch them are.

Has a horse ever stopped in the middle of a race to dump a turd?

I know Richard Petty did

I went to the Sam Houston Race Track last weekend, watched some races and then Kenny Wayne Shepherd played. Didn't seem trashy to me. The old town Spring crawfish festival thing I went to last Sunday was pure trash. At least 3 people walking around with pit bulls in the middle of kids.

I just hang with the Hispanics at their back yard quarter horse racing tracks. Feels less trashy.

Sorry you're too poor to throw a few G notes on a horse because you like its name

You have all kinds, from billionaires to vagrants. But they are all characters, and everybody has a story. Not like the mindless drones pulling slot machine handles.

Not as trashy as going to breakfast in your jammies.





If you had any idea of how much money is spent on horse racing you’d know the sport itself isn’t trashy.

You canmake a strong argument that the people spending that money are trashy tho. Not all, but many.
