The Exciting World of Horse Racing

Horse racing is a sport that I feel is many times overlooked. It is an exciting sport that brings in a lot of money and fans, especially with the gambling that goes along with it. I worked at the Saratoga Horse Racing Track in Saratgoa, NY for 3 years and absolutely love the environment. A lot of the fans still follow the old fashioned ways of horse racing and come to the track all dressed up in their most fancy clothes and big fashionable hats. There are TV's everywhere with people perched in front of them, and lines waiting to get into the grand stands and up by the fence. It is really amazing to hear the crowd as the horses turn the last corner and enter the final stretch. Even if you are not that into horse racing, it is almost impossible not to join in with the fun. Some races really can put your stomach into knots when there are 2 or more horses neck and neck at the finish line. Then, when the race is over the place goes up in shambles with people who either won or lost large amounts of money. If you have not ever been to a horse race, I would suggest that it is one thing you need to witness in person at some time in your life.
