ill take it live anyday of the week over TV. call me a true fan if you will for saying that and notta gambler. my love for the sport has evolved to the point to where i can be at the track all day long not make a single bet and still have a great time! dont get me wrong i love to handicap and i love to bet races but betting isnt what appeals to me most about this sport. yesterday my trainer ran 1 in iowa@prarie(6th) and the horse won and i was watching on tvg and cashed a real nice ticket on BWOOD but it woulda felt even better to be there live without a dime on the horse like i was a couple of weeks ago at churchill when luga won. i live 15 min from hawthorne and 40from arlington so i imagine its much easier for me to actually get out to a racetrack than some here but still nothing beats being there live. being live for cigars record tying win@arlington is a big reason why i got hooked and fell in love with this game@age 18. go out to a day of live racing at keeneland and come back and tell me you still rather watch it on tv than be at the track, if you do then youre a gambler notta fan
