I respectfully disagree. If every Thoroughbred breeding operation in the country went out of business tonight and every Thoroughbred horse dropped dead at the same time, Aqueduct would have donkey races running within two weeks and people would wager on them. People are willing to bet which raindrop will roll down a window first. Gambling is running the show.
