Horse racing continues to be one of the popular spectator sports in America.
But in its early beginnings, horse racing was a sport that was enjoyed and wagered on mostly by the upper class.
After the Civil War, horse racing tracks opened throughout the east coast paving the way for bettors from all economic sectors to enjoy the thrill of the past paced action.
In the Early days of horse racing, many enterprising bookmakers started 'auction pools' which involved auctioning off bets for each horse in a race.
But this format was short lived because bettors were out of luck if the horse that they wanted to wager on was already taken.
The bookies, known for being innovative, soon realized that setting odds on individual horses would increase betting handle and, in turn, the bookie's hold.
