Horse Racing Lover
By: Jimmy Mayon

It’s the thrill of the chase.
This is the one maxim that is applicable for all, and yes, we mean all horse racing sport lovers. The term “chase” may mean a multitude of things: the actual chase to finish first in the actual race, chasing profits, chasing after that elusive jackpot money, chasing after that fool-proof strategy, chasing after the greater racing pedigree, etc. Whatever the primary reason may be for frequently the racing tracks, horse racing enthusiasts are certainly chasing after a specific dream or goal, and loving every minute of it.
A horse racing lover belongs to a breed of its own. People from this breed are confined to a circle of similar thinking people. They speak in a language that very few understand. They have their own cultures and traditions which they worship with religious fanaticism. They have set goals, set missions, and set objectives for each ticket they buy. They risk a lot, plan a lot, and strategize a lot – all for the same goal: to be the first one at the finish line. What they hope to find at the end of each race is all up to the horse racing lover.
We all know that the horse racing industry means big business; and certainly with a thriving industry like this, people naturally want their piece of the pie. So, it’s true indeed that the term “chase” may mean a multitude of things.
To the seasoned and neophyte players, to the horse owners, to the trainers, to jockeys, to anyone in between (and who knows, maybe to the horse itself,) horse racing is the actual chase to finish first with every race. This means that it’s a pay-off for players; more purse money for the horse owners; elevation of status to both the horse trainers and the jockeys; bookies make a killing. Even offshoot businesses make money from horse racing events like the concession stands, the souvenir sellers, etc.
For the more discerning bettors, certified horse race lovers, these races are great ways of chasing small but steady profits aside from their ROI or return of investments. For the dreamers and the hopefuls, one race can be their ticket to the jackpot money. This is a very rare occurrence, but it does not stop people from dreaming. For the talented schemers and mathematicians, predicting the outcome of the race through algorithm and calculations and then finalizing a fool-proof strategy that can break the bank is part of the chase, and some go at this for years and years.
To horse breeders and / or owners on the other hand, a win may mean added chinks to the pot of gold – but this also means that all their hard work, patience and careful selective breeding of their horses has finally paid off. Stud service is also a multi-million business in the States, as well as selling pedigree race horses.
