Chapter 9: Horsing Around
Friends often would ask what was my favorite sport. They would seem
surprised when I would answer, "horse racing." I like baseball and track
and tennis — and pro football on television, but the appeal of horse racing
is simple enough. You become a player rather than a spectator. You have
the involvedment of the two-dollar (or more) bet. I have not been a
particularly outstanding player as a bettor on horses, but I have enjoyed
the game. These columns reflect some aspects of my interest and delight
in the noble beasts and the people involved with them.
