Vic Zast helps horseplaying men understand women:
“She believes in picking her winners with a hat pin. The colors of the jockey’s silks, the horse’s name, the appearance of the owners in the walking ring — these are all legitimate reasons for women to take a stab at a longshot. A woman’s intuition works in many ways, and when it does, don’t be surprised. Women can tell when owners and trainers expect their horses will win by some savvy sixth sense. She doesn’t need to hear from you which horse is going to win on the basis of track bias.”
I’d make fun, but it just doesn’t seem right. I was raised to respect my elders, even when they’re spouting tired stereotypes. (Blood-Horse)
