Horseplayers

First things first, this show has some really great cinematography and the tracks that they go to are beautiful. Basically, the show follows a handful of handicappers as they crisscross the country playing in various tournaments with their ultimate goal of winning a spot in the National Handicapping Tournament. Of course winning money is just as important. "Playing the ponies" might not be for everyone, but even if you have never placed a bet in your life, your heart will start pumping as you watch the horse race to the finish line potentially winning these men and women a million dollars. The show is exciting, and the players are very entertaining, and I really hope that this show gets noticed enough for a second season. I found it by accident, so I think it needs to be promoted more as it airs on Esquire Network. It's always interesting to watch people do for a living, what you yourself were always discouraged to do.
