I was never a huge fan of the races, but my dad was, so I grew up going to Laurel and Pimlico every weekend, and even to Freestate on some weeknights. Dad even owned part of a thoroughbred for a couple of years.
Show horses, mainly western. Quarter Horses primarily though I wasn't proud - if someone wanted me to train a Paint or Appaloosa and they paid, I did it. There are folks way at the top. I wasn't that person though I did work for a couple starting out. I was hauling a pile of youth and amateurs around chasing points. My typical horse sold for between $5k and $15k, not a quarter-million like the top of the food chain did.
