   I will never understand why having a beer at the pub down the road means I am now regularly asked which completely interchangeable old white person gets to sit on the board of the shittier form of horse racing (which is already a shit and pointless exercise) club.

     @MattHatton It's one of those things that made more sense in its time...it was basically the stock car racing of the horse era...but that time has long past and it's now wildly niche. I grew up in a major horse breeding area of the US and I'm amazed to see people still breeding and training for it.

     Harness racing is fucking stupid. Horse racing is dumb, harness racing is dumber.

     Let’s race horses going not anywhere near as fast as they go, using chariots but with none of the bits that made chariot racing good. Yes. I am a master entertainer.
