why we love the game....

I know its not 100% but a majority of the fans on this board, true horse racing fans, were created when they were young. If this isn't a wake up to all of us who are trying to grow the sport. Real racing fans, long time bettors etc are generally created in their youth. So lets take our kids to the track. We won't create new fans sitting at home and betting on our computers, even though i know the convenience of that usually outweighs going to the races.

Just like many on here, my dad took me when i was little (longacares) and hearing Gary Henson and watching the horses, i was hooked.
