Only in the sense that the same can be said for poker players, golfers, coders, lawyers, doctors, nurses, and quilters.
They (we) all have a Brand that comes with a lifestyle.
Maybe NYRA agents have their own brand. LOL

Horseplayers are addicted to emotional and psychological masochism?

I think there are two types. The first type enjoys all kinds of gambling, poker, blackjack, craps etc. The second type, of which I am one, is strictly interested in thoroughbred racing, not the trotters or casino gambling.

with the possible exception of this website, i think there is a lot of insecurity and contrarianism in the environment. i wish i could say my life was exempt from such behavior but that would not be true.
