I'm not Jewish and I mean no disrespect but if people of any faith are so religious that horse racing is something that cannot be part of any given day (I was raised Catholic and had no idea until this year that wagering wasn't allowed on Palm Sunday and Easter in certain places, for example) are they really (I mean wtf is up with that? ) going to take part in any great numbers? I think not.

People need to stop fussing and fretting and creating problems...

I'm Catholic too and a frequent conflict in schedule is either seeing a big race or going to the Saturday Mass so I don't have to get up early on Sunday.

Safe to say I will not be going to Saturday Mass this week...
