Oh geez, I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to go either. Any way you can get out of it? It would be hard to do, but I guess if worse comes to worse you can go but not support them by placing any bets. That's a tough call...

Is there a risk to your job if you don't go? If not I would not go. Since you say you feel strongly enough to never go to the races, having a cover band wouldn't/shouldn't make a difference.

I would definately NOT go, job or not!! That is absolutely horrific!!

What is wrong with just a simple statement to that effect?

I would be honest. "My personal feelings toward horse racing won't make me very good company at these races." I had that happen to me a while back too. Our boss wanted to have a company picnic at a race track. I told them not to expect me if that was the venue.
