I give you that. Working as a PM was awesome, I met all kinds of characters.
I knew an older guy who couldn't hold down a job. His sister, a high society type who wrote a newspaper column about gracious living would drop him off with an allowance and pick him up at the end of the day. Another guy had been an accountant for a nursing home company. He got blackballed for blowing the whistle on medicare fraud and couldn't get a job in the industry. He'd tell his wife he was out job hunting and go to the track. He only bet trifectas and did pretty well. If he didn't make money, he broke even or close to it.

I don't care if its trashy or not... I like it.. I only bet the triple crown races and go to the track once or twice a year, but if you think it's trashy I think you suck at life..
By the way, I bet each of the following horse across the board.
Bolt d oro
Magnum Moon
Lone Sailor

How so?
I mean, back in the day I heard the track in Lafayette use to have to shady shite go down, but you couldn't even bet on that track in Vegas because it was known to be that shady... But how is it shady now?

Is Delta Downs still open? That was the most corrupt track around
Posted on 5/5/18 at 5:42 pm to theantiquetiger
Yes Delta is still open. Three of our horses ran there last Thursday

Well shite! I had a $10 5-7 exacta box. Only if the race was 5 feet longer

Anyone that asks if something is trashy is automatically trashy.

Delta does a nice softshelled crab

No it's not trashy, but you will see people from all walks of life
Posted on 5/5/18 at 7:02 pm to theantiquetiger
Just about everything is trashy to the OT so why wouldn't horse racing be?

Horse racing is not trashy. The idiots who go watch them are.
The people that work in the horse racing industry (trainers, grooms, training riders, etc) by and large are pieces of total trash.

Go to Keeneland in Kentucky and see what horse racing is supposed to be. It's an awesome sport but shite tracks are trashy. No doubt.
