As a child I was a huge baseball fan. At the time, part of the charm seemed through the box scores every morning. From this I held statistics for my favorite team, the Reds. Hits, RBIs, runs, stolen bases – how nice and all so perfectly harmless.
I have often described the Equibase racing cards as box scores for the gamblers, full of relevant gambling data, both for the current and for future races. But together with those figures, Racing gives us comments and footnotes for each horse. Here is the full footnote area for the 6th race on Mountaineer last night:

Poor Rainbow was seven years old, and this was her 42nd time under the whip. As a postscript she was also “for sale” – cheap: $ 4,000 – the day she died.
This is horse racing.
