welcome to
watch UK Horse vs USA Horse Racing Live. You have total amnesia. All
you are told is your name and that you loved Thoroughbred racing, but
you don't know why and cannot recall actually following the sport. You
don't even know if you live in the United States or Europe. You have to
start taking baby steps and learn to love racing all over again. You
decide to spend a year in the States and a year in Europe and then
decide which racing you like best and where you want to live.
BEAUTY - A big
advantage to Europe to start off. The beautiful, lush grass courses, the
maze of white railing, uphill and downhill runs, and horses, without
lead ponies, turned out in impeccable condition, escorted by
well-dressed lads (grooms).
Whether at
Royal Ascot, Epsom on Derby Day, Glorious Goodwood, or small tracks like
Salisbury and Bath, racing in England is a canvas of gorgeous colors
and images. And there is nothing as dazzling to the eye as the
Longchamp's magnificent grass course or the vast expanse of the Curragh.
Several of the
American tracks do present spectacular backdrops, such as the San
Gabriel Mountains beyond Santa Anita and the miles of gentle rolling
hills beyond Keeneland, and those tracks with scenic infields, adorned
by lakes, flowers, and a variety of greenery and birdlife. But the
racetracks themselves cannot compare with those in Europe.
And the
American horses, leaning on their lead ponies as if they were security
blankets, are not as pleasing to the eye as the Europeans as they ramble
down the stretch after being let go by their lads, striding out
magnificently on their way to the starting gate.
