You can beat a race but not the races

first thing I noticed was the opening credits looked like a full field going a mile and a quarter.

I wish it was still true that "More money is bet on horse racing than on any other form of commercialized gambling."

Thanks for posting that link.

Probably fact considering worldwide wagering no?

Maybe, but since the original film was about domestic gambling, I was comparing today's level of participation in American horse racing to what it was.

Besides, what most of us here would like to see is a stabilizing and some growth in the participation in American racing and the pools for parimutuel bets.

You know, whatever keeps our preferred tracks healthy and makes us a good return when we do hit a bet.

Agreed on all counts.
