The Middle East isn't rich in horse racing tradition... That's a revelation! Out of curiousity, those things that are called Arabians... Where did they come from exactly?
Racetracks are in every corner of the United States because it's America's original and oldest sport, and the far flung venues grew out of the original race gatherings that began in the 1800's.

Really? They can't bet in Dubai? You're kidding... Who knew? What is the reason for them coming to the track if they dont bet? Beats me.
One thing is for sure: They are not coming to watch 5k claimers plod thier way to the finish line. ---> Really exciting?
And "thousands and thousands come"... Unheard of in the United States! Guess you haven't been to a Kentucky Oaks/Derby... A Breeders' Cup... A Santa Anita Derby or Handicap Day... Or Smarty Jones' Belmont... Or Oaklawn... Or Saratoga... Great example of a quality product. We need more quality and less crap! Agreed?
The Middle East isn't rich in horse racing tradition... That's a revelation! Out of curiousity, those things that are called Arabians... Where did they come from exactly? Every country has thier native horse. Europeans created horse racing not the Arabs. I undestand Arabians were the founding blood of the modern thoroubred but can you tell me where Sheikh Mo buys his multi-million dollar horses that he races in Nad Al Sheba?
Racetracks are in every corner of the United States because it's America's original and oldest sport, and the far flung venues grew out of the original race gatherings that began in the 1800's. A lot of historic sites in America were part of tradition and culture but most of them were torn down and a Shopping Center was put in place. I wonder why??
