I hope neither of you mind that I'm quoting you but I'm doing so to make a point.

(From the waiting for news on thread yesterday)
The flipside...

Again, from the same thread
So you guys tell me. Why is there that stereotype? Do some of you think that you guys are the ones to perpetuate it? Do you care? Can you do anything to change it or do you feel like why bother or what?
Pretty horsie people...
There is no need to go looking for threads where they / we are disrespected. It's more of an underlying current... I believe so anyway.
We don't mind much though.
We play and cap and bet but some people assume we are clueless.
I've been to the track on two different occassions where one of the male tellers asked me if it was my first time there and said it with a tone as if I was a little well, let's just say touched.
This kind of idiocy bothers me but not much. I guess I know to expect it.
(Sorry as I don't mean to speak for anyone else. Apologies).
What other assumptions are there that are racing-related?
Anyone want to share their thoughts or a story?
I'm sorry to the big time cappers but I kinda think the ones who suggest you're for the most part heartless? I think that it's people in your own group so to speak.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? Sure are dogs allowed to eat dog food made from horses that had cancer? Is that like the Walmart brand and the Iams is Cancer free? I now I want my dogs to eat nothing but the finest kosher TB.
My best friend is madly in love with his wife of 37 years, neither could ever imagine life apart. She once asked him how long she should wait before dating another man if he were to die first. He looked at her and said Honey what do I care I am DEAD.
