Essentially what you say Hussler2912 makes a lot of sense and yes I do love greyhound racing a lot more, primarily because of the much greater personal involvement but also because I really loved the carnival atmosphere, the involvement and comradery of the common man on and away from the racetrack, the love of the animal, the competitiveness of the racing and in the past the betting ring and even the occasional bit of controversy which made for interesting conversation. The early summer mornings were wonderful but the minus 8s in winter were shithouse. With regard to the money, my rather negative approach would be that I am going to lose less money in dog racing than I am going to lose in thoroughbred racing or put another way, I will get more fun for my "dollar" in the dogs than I will get for the same "dollar" spent on the gallops. The above is just making my position clear, I am a "dog man".
