:) I came home early this Year.1:22 am and I am at home.I guess you can say I am getting old.Well there is a few other reasons also. :rolleyes:
But these Horses man.I mean 150,000 People at the track tomorrow just cheer and cheer while somebody is whipping their ass.
And who knows all the world over.Let alone us locals at home watching and betting.
I mean.....these animals are just beautiful.

"So it is not just betting, the chance to prove with money your luck or what you call your judgment, that draws people to horse races. It is much deeper than that. It is a sublimation, a transference: man, with his admiration for speed and strength, physical power far beyond what he himself is capable of, projects his own desire for physical supremacy, victory, onto the agent--the baseball or football team, the prize fighter. Only the horse race is more universal because the brutality of the prize fight is absent, as well as the attenuation of football or baseball--the long time needed for the orgasm of victory to occur, where in the horse race it is a matter of minutes, never over two or three, repeated six or eight or ten times in one afternoon.
