Jockey Boxing

I have a lot to say today....

Breeders cup started today and organizers couldn't have asked for a better start.  In case you haven't seen it check it out  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lujax6gMAqU then continue to read.

This is exactly what horse racing needs!  Horse racing has always been portrayed as a classy sport for classy people, but let's be honest.  Horse racing is for average joes like you and me.  You can't go to a race track now a days that doesn't have some form of a casino attached to it.  You've already got people there pouring money into odds on a horse winning why not add a slot machine or two to entice them to win back what they lost on the horses on the way out.  A racetrack in the city where I call home has tried to encourage a younger crowd by adding a "party" tent during weekend races complete with a bar, food and Beer brand girls.  It is these things that will attract a younger crowd to horse racing.  All young people want to do at sporting events is to enjoy live sport and a few beverages.  If you add the possibility of winning money and women in small shorts and shirts this is just a bonus, not to mention a fight of two.  Whether it's because of controversy during the race or if the two little guys just don't like each other a fight every once and a while is good for the sport, especially when the participants in the fight are pretty much midgets!!!!  Sorry, little people, big fights!!!


Dear Sport of Horse Racing,
    Let the little guys fight!!!!  Keep the horse out of it, but you know maybe merge the idea of UFC in the winners circle.  You could call it JFC (Jockey Fighting Club) - you can have that one for free!  Thank me later.
