Question

Who said;its the difference of opinion makes horse racing?

Answer 1

some broke gambler....we all take the same information(daily racing form)

and come up with different selections...so that is a true statement...i just wish that your next wager be a winning one.....good luck and good racing...

Answer 2

Will Rogers 1879 - 1935. He actually said "A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries."

Answer 3

Just about everyone who gambles would have coined that phrase at one time or another. If you take your word "opinion" and substitute "interpretation of form" and you have what makes the difference between winning and losing at horse racing.

Even those who claim to have inside information is merely relying on the fact that the trainers interpretation of form is such that if he lets the horse go it will win.

Unfortunately with that scenario,often three or four trainers think the same about any one race, so someone will lose !!
