Quotes on Racing from Costas Now Year in Review Special

The HBO Costas Now Year in Review special as well as the follow up Costas Now Overtime on HBO.com had some interesting quotes on Thoroughbred racing.

"Another reminder that in the drama without a script that is sports, nothing is certain."


Charles Barkley responding to the question of Did he Bet on Big Brown:

"I don't bet on Animals"


Barkley on gambling on horses in general:

"Anything you hit, will run fast. That is not a big deal to me."


John McEnroe on Steroids in Sports:

"The dirtiest Sport right now is Horse Racing."
