Most of the Generalizations are true.
I'm 25 and from Suburban Minneapolis. I'am single... and it might have something to do that I spend a lot of times at Canterbury on the weekends. But, I don't stay so late that I can't go meet friends for a drink around 10 or so. To maybe take it in a different direction, at least for me- I'am independent enough where I can spend the $$$ on gambling right now. No wife and kids to direct my $$$ towards. One day hopefully I'll meet a nice woman (or a Cajun Gator) that will be worth my time and $$$, so I'm not at the track. I of course plan on having my priorities in order in terms of expenses once I have a stable family life, but my wife will have to be comfy with me goin to the track when time and $$$ can spare it haha.

I may just get to meet you guys on FL Derby day! I don't know yet if we are doing the FULL weekend show that weekend and if we are I won't be able to make it, but it is still up in the air. If we aren't doing the horse show, I will be there!

I guess I'm just average:
1. White 2. Graduate degree 3. I was 15 my first time (1981 Haskell at Monmouth) 4. New Jersey 5. 41 6. Never been to another board. Checked this one out to find Byk's Picks after listening to ATRAB. 7. Bet +/- $ 20 per race although this is increasing as I play more Pick 3s & 4s after reading Exotic Betting & having some success. 8. Not applicable as I'm over 40. But I am married and have a 5 yo son (He's already been to Monmouth, Saratoga, Aqueduct, Belmont and Tampa Bay Downs) My wife had never been to the track before she met me. He first trip to the track was Smoke Glacken's Sapling at Monmouth. She now picks winners simply by looking at the horses in the paddock and has had a fair amount of success usually better in sprints.

Interesting Thought
1. White.
2. College Degree 3. First went to the races at about age four at Arlington Park with my mom. Been going ever since. 4. From Chicago, though spent my share of time on the coasts. Best of both worlds! 5. 23, slightly outside your demographic prediction. 6. Came from ESPN, after about an 18 month horse-message-board hiatus 7. Usually bet between $125-$200 a day. Usually focusing on win bets and pick-3 wagers. 8. Most of the under 40 crowd are not married. Especially the men on here. Not married. Why is the bigger question? Has nothing to do with horse racing......

ok, i'll play....
white. high school diploma. no one in my family interested in racing. have loved horses for as long as i can remember, and i guess that combined with a sheer competitive spirit made me a natural horse racing fan. grew up in maryland, moved to arkansas about 12 years ago. on the cusp of 40 (ouch). started posting on the espn board back when war emblem won the derby. not much of a bettor-no opportunity from home. don't make it to the track much either, certainly not as much as i would like. happily married for 21 years. tony enjoys going to the track-or maybe he just enjoys me enjoying going to the track! he's taking me to arlington this year, sweet!

I just want to say that I don't see how race, gender, work ethic? has anything to do with racing. Why take somethng that brings people together and try and divide them up. Ofcourse if we were all together then the horse's odds would suffer..
I am working on a theory that will tie the Derby attendance to global warming.
