Go to a couple of the ones over here as corporate events

Not bad - but a surprising amount of gangsters/paramilitaries

US racing is different to UK stuff afaik. All weather tracks and faster races.

Horse racing would be good fun in a crowd. Just pick a horse, put a little bit of money on and enjoy watching it limp round in last place.

If you like gambling then you should enjoy the horses.

I was big on gambling for a while, to the point of it getting a bit dangerous. I still enjoy watching the horses without betting though.

Tis good fun.

thing is because the US is run by a bunch of retarded creationists you cant use the online betting exchanges so are more or less limited to acting like a mug punter
