The rest of your post? Point taken.
I'm just giving my opinion too.

Yes, seriously. I've really only met two gamblers who are women. A trainers wife, (who has lots of

) and a woman who worked with the radio show who was a good horse player. I've met lots of women who love horses and horse racing and place some wagers... really investing a good amount of money to bet is a different thing. (btw, I do not consider myself at ALL to be a gambler)
Maybe going to the track isnt the best way of answering this because not everyone goes to the track to drop lots of cash, especially in the case of Saratoga, Gulfstream, Keenland, Del Mar, etc where it is a social event...
How many women do you see at the OTB??? i'd put a 90/10 or maybe even a 95/5 ratio on that. There were NEVER any women at Lehigh Valley Downs or Dania beach when I'd go there.
What about Derby trail? there has to be 4 guys for every one girl who posts.
I really dont know how this can even be argued. Even with poker you see one female to every 8-10 male players, for the most part.
