Horse racing is really the only other sporting event that provides me with the same rush as watching a New York Rangers game. If I have money on a horse, the five minutes surrounding the race process is like watching the Rangers play overtime. It’s a real jolt to the system.
For each race on the daily card would be bettors are provided with odds for each horse entered. Those odds fluctuate as the public places wagers on their horse of choice. Sometimes those bets are scientific, place by professional gamblers who think they know who will win based on careful analysis.
