I read an extremely interesting stat earlier today

I don't know if it's true or not, I don't see why it would not be and it makes sense, but anyway, that 51% of all horses are owned by women, however, only 14% of the on track patrons of horse races are women.

Do you think that is true and if so, why?

Women dont want to sell their darlings, and they can't bear to watch them race and possibly be hurt. :lol:
