You've got to be kidding, but, no, this is what the news is that is swirling around the FaceBook horse racing circles. I always just assumed that everyone at the track would certainly be betting a few bucks, that is the way horse racing is supported. Without the wagering, there is nothing. How could a fan, not wager?
I am also trying to gather as much information on this with polls and inquiries, so be sure to give me some feedback. Especially if you are a fan that does not bet. Tell me how you are avoiding the urge to just grab a 3-5-7 Exacta box, or a 1-4 Daily Double, just for the fun of it. Because fun is what horse racing is all about. The racetrack is the only place that I know of, where horseplay, is not only welcomed and encouraged, it is the name of the game.
There is no better fun than horseplay, that is why it is forbidden everywhere else. Think about it, just about everywhere that fun could take place, you might still see a sign that forbids horseplay. The question seems to be, can you still have fun if you don't take your horseplay seriously, absolutely... positively.
I am really hoping that you are not of the belief that wagering on horse races is for handicappers only. There is plenty of fun to be had, and winning to be done, without any handicapping. Of course, the handicappers will say that betting the #4 instead of the #9 is handicapping. I say that is an example of taking a game too seriously. Have some fun, bet the #7 to win the 7th race... remember... horseplay is the definition of fun.
