Does horse racing have something to offer everyone from the new fan as young as a six-year-old, all the way up to the weather-beaten old man chomping on a stogie? Yes it does! These five installments on Horse Racing – Texas Style explain why and are based on “What Does Horse Racing Offer Fans?” from “Zipse At The Track” by Brian Zipse on HorseRacingNation. Installment one is “For the Sport of It”. Have you attended one of the major team sports recently? If you said yes, you know just how much the afternoon or evening costs these days. Bringing the family to an NFL game in 2014 can quickly approach four figures in expenses. While racing does not have the American publicity machine churning non-stop behind it, it does offer all the excitement of any of the most popular sports in the United States. While a basketball game may offer a strong rooting experience, racing offers the opportunity to quickly develop a rooting interest over and over again. You may root for the jockey, trainer, and of course, the horse of your choice, or you may root for the wager that you just placed. Either way, there is the opportunity to root just as feverishly as there is at any baseball game. In team sports, you have to wait two, three hours, or more before you find out if you are on a winner. At the racetrack, you have multiple chances to be a winner after each exciting race with usually a wait of only thirty minutes or less between races. Each race is a whole new game, and if you are lucky, you have a chance to go home with more money in your pocket than you had when you arrived at the track.
