Default Horse racing ads

It seems that lately, when I surf the internet, I am followed around by horse racing advertisements. ( mostly Santa Anita and Twinspires) This is a new phenomenon and it kind of creeps me out. I know I'm a degenerate and all, but it feels a little big brotherish. Is it just me?

Don't be silly! There's nothing big brotherish about it (although you did just commit thoughtcrime).

No. It's some sort of specialized internet advertizing. It remembers sites you have visited and puts them in the ad section on the new sites you go to. That Santa Anita add is everywhere.

If that was the case, he would be seeing ads from Mountaineer and Delta on every site he visited.
