My father is a huge horse racing fan, so I was introduced to the sport long before 'Seabiscuit.' But the role made me an even bigger fan. Horse racing is one of my favorite sports.

Elizabeth Banks

I like horse racing but I'm not an All-Star in horse racing. I'm an All-Star fan in horse racing.

Nikola Jokic

I love horses. I spent seven years as a racing commissioner on a horse-racing board.

Bo Derek

I am not entirely against horse racing. I even had a share in a horse syndicate with a few mates.

John Bishop

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.

Rick Pitino

You try to do the best with what you've got and ignore everything else. That's why horses get blinders in horse racing: You look at the horse next to you, and you lose a step.

Jimmy Iovine

Wayne Lukas was the bar. Wayne impacted Quarter Horse racing and thoroughbred racing like no other.

Bob Baffert

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then drag racing must be the sport of queens.

Bert Sugar

A racing horse is not like a machine. It has to be tuned up like a racing car.

Christopher Poole

I examined my Liberalism and found it like an addiction to roulette. Here, though the odds are plain, and the certainty of loss apparent to anyone with a knowledge of arithmetic, the addict, failing time and again, is convinced he yet is graced with the power to contravene natural laws. The roulette addict, when he invariably comes to grief, does not examine either the nature of roulette, or of his delusion, but retires to develop a new system, and to scheme for more funds.

David Mamet

It was every day on the horses and every single race. I was betting on anything; horses, dogs, virtual racing, roulette.

Kyle Lafferty

As a teenager, I developed a great interest in not only horse breeding but also horse racing and used to bet based on red-hot tips. I realized that becoming a bookmaker would be very lucrative, but Dad put his foot down, saying it was an inappropriate career.

Cyrus S. Poonawalla

Along with my passion for horse breeding, I was a horse racing enthusiast... In 1974 I was elected as a committee member and subsequently as a steward of the Turf Club. I had a burning desire to clean up the sport, which had always carried the stigma of gambling and manipulation.

Sure, my uncle killed himself playing Russian Roulette. But I choose to remember him as a great Russian Roulette player.

Anthony Jeselnik

The roulette table pays nobody except him that keeps it. Nevertheless a passion for gaming is common, though a passion for keeping roulette tables is unknown.
