Corinthian or Bernardini

[Betsy]

I can promise you that I haven't seen very many men at the track that I would want to date, lol. Most of them smoke like chimneys, which is a big turn off to me, and many of them are older and come with their wives. I'm probably one of the view single women at the track.....

I don't have a problem with the time between races because I enjoy spending a day at the track - it's a nice day out for me and Belmont is so beautiful. It also gives me time to check out the horses in the paddock......I have a hard time identifying with gamblers and with those who want fast action; I root for a horse, not the number (it's never "go number 2" for me, it's "go Bernardini, go whomever"). Also, I loved horses since I was a young girl....lots of girls do. I rode, took lessons and just started liking racing. I figure Walter Farley's Black Stallion helped me become a racing fan....boy, those books were good. Anyone ever read them? I think you can make racing work for those who already love horses; for those who are just in it to win money, I think they are a lost cause. When I was younger, I used to be so embarrassed about liking horse racing, because it was supposed to be an old man's sport, not a young girl's. Now, I don't care who knows.
