which part? the long betting lines, the newbie trying to spit out a .10 super with horses loading, or the traffic jam entering and leaving?

There are too many juvenile races. Those are the most boring ones because nearly none of the horses are recognizable. There used to be only 2 of them and that was okay....now there's 4! And they all look nearly the same on paper!! A lot of them come into the race with only 2 or 3 starts, so it's hard to tell if someone is just going to suddenly improve.

Someone please kill me. I just cant take it anymore.......

If you find them too boring then maybe you can just get a hot dog or something to pass the time while they are running them?

Get richer friends and make them cut you in for a piece as the good luck charm and you wont need the job.
