How useful is a law degree in the sport and what would you say are the most interesting opportunities for someone with a law degree (legal and non-legal)?

FWIW, I have a law degree, and much prefer the horse business. You can look at all the equine practice groups you want, fact is, you're still putting in 60 hrs a week at the office, not the track or farm.
