Our World is Not THE World

For the last week Saratoga was abuzz with the upcoming Travers race at the Track. A Triple Crown winner would race at the Track and people and the local media could not be more excited. Personally, horse racing doesn't interest me but I live in this town and many people make their living because of the racing season.

This morning I opened the Sunday New York Times and could not find one article on the Travers in the Sports Section....NOT one.

The Travers is considered the 4th leg of the Triple Crown and one of the few national newspapers had no reports on the race.

Then I understood. Just because something is important in our small world, it doesn't mean that others feel the importance of a particular event.

Just food for thought.
