Was Horse Racing popular during the Great Depression?
Horse racing was very popular during the Depression. Seabiscuit was a sports celebrity, a day at the races offered affordable entertainment (if you watched your gambling), with low general admittance prices for the grandstand area and increasing prices for clubhouse and turf club admittance. Plus, there was the attraction of maybe making good on a 20 to 1 longshot with the same name as your mother. People went out and did things before there was television and computers and all the things that make our homes so comfortable and satisfying to be in these days; but in those days, there was radio, newpapers, magazines, movies and sporting events, and horse racing enjoyed the same kind of popularity as baseball or boxing matches or Saturday afternoon at the movies.
