Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson says he sees no contradiction between his condemnation of gambling and his ownership of racehorse Mr. Pat.

 

"I don't bet, and I don't gamble,'' Robertson said. "I just enjoy watching horses running and performing.

 

"I wish horse racing was not supported by gambling,'' he said. "The people I see at the track, they don't seem to love horses. They're looking at The Racing Form and are trying to make money betting. I like to look at them as performers and to study their bloodlines. That's what I find interesting.

 

"I don't bet on my own horses, and I don't think anyone else should either.''

 

Some religious experts say Robertson is violating the spirit of his conservative Christian message.

 

"The notion of an evangelical entering horse racing and gambling - well, he can pretend all he wants that he's in it for the beauty of the sport, but you can't look at it that way,'' said University of Chicago theologian Martin Marty. "The whole culture of horse racing involves gambling, and all the money comes from people trying to hit it big gambling. This is like saying you're investing in a bordello but aren't in favor of prostitution.''
