This sounds like a passage from George Orwell's "The Road to Wigan Pier".
A man died. Show some respect.

Those who view horse racing - as animal harm and exploitation for the "owners"
and as boxing - thrills for the spectators, at a cost and harm
And those who view gambling addiction as a problem
And those who might view spending one's life at horse racing - as not appealing
those folks might not be as interested in how such a person with a memory retention ability
would waste it on such . Appreciate Ragozin not naming names - but to identify with PLP, Stalin
and horse racing, from my view, says much about values and lack of empathy and caring.
Such a waste, for a man who could have done much more and better!
Fascinating story. Could be the basis of a future documentary.
