Quantum of History

Episode 33 - A View To A Kill and the History of Horse Racing


Listen Later

A View To A Kill has all the cringe and all the cheese of a bad charcuterie date, but the plot itself is not far from reality.  Come join as I talk about the movie A View To A Kill, share my thoughts on the movie, and then dive into the history of a main part of the plot, horse racing.  Horse racing has long been a playground for the elites and for criminality.  From Cartels to nobility, horse racing is elitism at his peak.  Going back all the way to 4500 BC until Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit scandal, come along as we talk about how horse racing became what it is today.  Come hear how some guy's family has spent 200 years watching horse sex, to how some criminals thought a little paint could make them money.  It's a packed episode with a lot of fun and interesting facts.
