You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally.
I have been going from one racetrack to another for years, since I was 14.
Anyone that has been lucky enough to go to the races and witness the magnificent spectacle of a competitive race will know how people like me can instantly fall in love with the power and beauty of race horses in full gallop.
I've never watched a race live from Ascot. I used to make sure I didn't miss Black Caviar run, but that wasn't at Ascot.
I've been to more racetracks than any other person I've met. Almost every track, missing only a few of the newer ones.
Horse racing is animated roulette.
There are other things that I could do, but there's really nothing that I love as much as horse racing.
I'm a pro-horserace guy.
Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison.
Horse racing is waning in popularity.
