Today's headline's - "The Perfect Date - A Day At The Races" just 3 news stories below the story about "Horse Racing News: Owner John Messara in Disbelief as Filly Miracle of Love Faces Tragic Death."
Define "perfect Date"
if you have to pay for your dates, and hiring Hookers - who are there to hang on your every word and pretend to like you and care about horse racing - and this is YOUR IDEA of a perfect date - then fine.
If you are NOT paying your date - and this is an actual "date" with a lady you actually want to impress than HELL NO - I can not imagine a worse date as a woman, than going to a horse racing event.
1st - you have to feel awkward and uncomfortable - as you pass by the protesters.
2nd - If you read Horse Racing Wrongs obituaries you know these deaths happen often, and if you bring a lady on a first date and she has to watch a horse tragically break down - and die - get killed behind a curtain, even avid horse racing fans have been known to vomit during these "breakdowns" when they are up close watching them - so now she is surrounded by people getting sick after watching a horrific horse breakdown that she will never forget, I know someone who saw a horse breakdown at the Belmont, over a decade ago who brings the story up every time I talk about horse racing. These moments are NEVER forgot. These are NOT happy or fond memories, they are traumatic events.
3 - Even if all goes well, the sun is shining, you take beautiful photos of your day at the track -when she posts photos of the two of you on FB at the racetrack - her friends will all light her up for supporting a "death track" & she will be highly embarrassed & shamed for going against the "girl code" and not caring about the horses welfare.
4. She will have at least one friend that will clue her in to the fate of what happens to most racehorses - ending up in kill pens & hear many stories about rescues and horror stories about pregnant horses and hurt ones shipping to Mexico in a hot truck only to have their necks slit.
At some point she will determine the person who brought her to this - is some kind of sick freak.
If she is intelligent, she will realize she was the sucker at the table & she is not getting rebates or discounts to place her bets at the track and is betting simultaneously against the horse racetrack and the horse racetrack is betting also against the horse racetrack and she will realize she got swindled - which prolly won't be a problem since more likely than not it is your money she is gambling with, but this will make her think YOU are foolish with money and she will put you in the "friend zone". Nobody wants to marry a guy who will gamble the kids house away or the car she needs to take them to school - especially a foolish one who can't see he is the sucker at the table. She will cringe at the thought of this.
If you sell her a horse - or buy her one - if it loses money - it will end up costing her over $100,000 to care for over it's lifetime. Imagine all the letharios out there - now that HISA is supposedly tracking the horses over their lifetimes or is it NTWO - who knows - they have no transparency - I don't even know if NTWO is still even open, bringing dates to the racetracks and with rescues full or their horse having the Herpes Equine Virus or finishing 10 lengths behind- and knowing nobody wants it, and not wanting to be stuck with the tab for AfterCare - or be publicly named and shamed when it inevitably is found in a kill pen, starts giving away his horses as "luxury" presents to his girlfriends - sure he may get laid - but sooner or later they will realize they were not gifted a luxury gift w/ any resale value, instead they were dumped on w/ a horse that will have expensive vet bills, expensive feed bills, ferrier bills, boarding costs and she will die a poor woman - after providing for this horse's after care for the next 30 years. When she finds out there are 30 others just like her AND the guy who "gifted" her the horse - went out and bought 30 new horses to race AGAIN - AFTER JUST DUMPING HIS LAST 30 HORSES- and will dump them all again on 30 unsuspecting women next year as "gifts" - they will be highly pissed.
In none of these scenarios - does this work - other than hiring a hooker. And the ONLY horse racing hooker - has made her face publicly known - so now all the gentlemen she has been seen and photo'd with or who will in the future are - looking pretty pathetic.
When your date realizes she is the only woman at the track who isn't a hooker, she will worry about getting a reputation as one, because what woman in her right mind would hang out at the track where horses are being dosed with meth and cocaine and having heart attacks at the age of 2 or 3 years old routinely. The only reason she will be saying "Let's Go!!! Is because she wants to get the hell out of there.
Someone - I believe in Harness racing - and if I cared enough I would look up who it was, but I don't, said that horse racing needs to fix it's core product FIRST before it goes out and attracts new fans."
Yet horse racing's moronic publicists did not heed this advice, so it will fall flat on it's face - look at the headlines - this is what you see - when you don't clean it up. You can't simultaneously sell tickets and post about all the gruesome deaths. Well actually, you can, and you are - but that only creates MORE HATERS. Which is fine by me. XOXO
As for the rest of you - take a lady somewhere fun, buy her long stemmed red roses and strawberries dipped in chocolate, take her for a walk on the beach, or to a flower garden, buy her dinner - pull out her chairs, open her door - ask her what she likes and be thoughtful if she likes music take her to a show she would like, if she likes animals - take her to a cat cafe, or horse back riding - if she has kids - invite them - be a part of her life - show her that you care and kiss her goodnight.

Horse racing is far from the perfect date. It's the exact opposite and you all have yourselves to blame - for your silence for so long as you let horror after horror go on unchecked. and especially for allowing the kill pens/slaughter to happen, and then rewarding yourself with Eclipse Awards like pigs rolling in the mud pinning medals on each other.
4-
And most of horse racing's fans will tell you they LOVE horses - and that is where we have common ground- that is why they are there and I am here.
Yet, horse lovers don't love horse racing. There is a major disconnect. Those who love horses will tell you that is why they either LOVE or HATE horse racing.
These are the headlines you get, all intertwined together - when you are promoting something that is not ready, a product that is killing horses left and right, how can you come out ahead with this approach?
It shouldn't be a conflict of interest to LOVE horses and LOVE watching them run, when that is what they are born to do. Yet it is. And you can give yourself all the Eclipse Awards in the world, and wallow in your evil. But we all see it. We see you could race clean but choose not to, we see HISA could end lasix the drug that masks all the others from appearing on drug tests, but would rather kick the can down the road. We see the FTC or TOC could shut down the CAW (Computer Assisted Wagering outfits ran by the Casinos they are betting against) - and take legal action against the CAW Owners - but choose not to. We saw Churchill Downs ban Baffert but they were the only ones - we saw the KHRC, the NYRA, the CHRB and HISA stand down - not do their job and allow someone who has tested positive for morphine and rat poisoning AND has a trail of over 90 dead horses including a recent Kentucky Derby "winner" keep racing. We see you stand down as Baffert, and Maggi Moss, Robin Fairweather and Fox HIll Farm's (Omaha Beach)- Victoria Keith troll and harass horse lovers online, we see you make fake accounts and death threats, and you try to grow that product - it's hilarious. HILARIOUS. You are all fools playing a fools game, but what happens when everyone wakes up and realizes how badly they have been robbed and played by you all? Will your Eclipse Award - keep you safe from karma? Prolly not. What happens when there is a NEW sheriff in town? #WeWait XOXO
Recipe for Chocolate Dipped strawberries.
Boil water, then place a glass bowl on top of the pan you are boiling the water in.
Place Ghiradellis milk chocolate chips and a small pat of butter in the glass bowl, stir it as it melts. When it is melted, dip the cleaned and washed and patted dry strawberries into the chocolate, then set it on a tray of parchment paper. Then stick it in the freezer for a few minutes until the chocolate coating on the outside of the strawberry is hard. Then remove from the freezer and either eat or put it in the refrigerator uncovered. Enjoy! XOXO
