No but fuck NO, tip your losing driver yourself Roc, either they union up, or not, but the GAMBLER needs someone who is incentivized, not paid when LOSING.... of all people a (R) wanting driver food stamps guaranteed earnings....shame on you ROC! ;D

How about the trainers that actually ship to the track with their horses and have to sit there for 4 hours for Lasix that has virtually no effect by the time they go to the gate ?
Couldn’t even at least buy us lunch?
(Yes, I know, this is the job I signed up for. Thanks for the reminder in advance.)

Give them (driver and trainer) 5% 10% like jockeys / t-trainers, from your cash Bro, and let's end the other shit as much as we can all together! tmbz1
And no one (owner, trainer, driver) gets any money (from purse) for 5th place unless there is a Pentafecta / Hi5, or 4th too unless there is a Superfecta in the respective race.....!
For the GAMBLER and to keep this already corrupt Shit MORE COMPETITIVE!....threaten to take your horses out of racing circulation in protest, have at it!!! ;D

Plenty of other jobs out there. Not making any money driving, pick up a day job. Fuck those crooks!

As a driver I will be the first to say that jockeys deserve more than drivers. I know several jocks and it's a shit life. You freeze in the winter, if you take a spill there's a good chance you will be severely injured, the constant worry about weight. If I gain 5 pounds it's no big deal. If they gain it they're sitting out without a job. Plus the reputation of not being able to makie weight. . And the stuff they go through to loose weight...the puking, the sweat box, pills. It takes a toll on their body. So yeah, they earn it.

Lets say a driver drives 15 races at Northfield and comes last in all of them. Does he get 375.00 for the effort?

Last in all 15 in a night? He will get paid but his days of getting 15 drives on one card are probably over
-
im in favor of 125 per drive .
as long as casino tracks pump up the purses

It should performance driven. If the driver stiffs the horse out of the money the owner loses, the gambler loses, the trainer loses their % so why should the driver be rewarded.

Not exactly.....That situation enacts the"Glengarry Glen Ross" applicable purse payment / per drive rules - second and third prize's....a Walter Case set of steak knives circa Northfield Park early 2000's delivered precisely tmbz1, and 11.dt ! ;D

How about we close down the track and casino and make it a driver / trainer / owner --> soup kitchen - today's special again, hobos dick cheese, all you can stuff in your fucking mouth. ;D

There is no limit to horsemen wanting handouts and this thread is a perfect example. Give me free money in a performance base industry. Also, we will now be giving shitty drivers participation ribbons! tmbz1

Do you tip your server when you have bad service? We sure do we leave $2 bucks. Same here boys

You know who gives free meals and "participation ribbons", for adult, scumbag greedy thieves..... 91.jzail.
This shows you how much they (casino, track, regulatory, owners, horsemen) respect the gambler who (and fans) fuel this and every other sport, and none with the corruption like horse racing.
Gambler's could remain suckers or not...it won't change what's to come, once they have their David v Goliath moment! Never be shocked if the genesis of the epicenter was right here and soon! FAFO bitches! ;D
-

No it's not, worst analogy on Horseplop ever, "tips" are optional, fixed driver pay (topic here) is guaranteed per drive salary.
$2, screw that give them 50% tip for the food server spitting in your food, I'll cover the other 50% of the "tip", you deserve it! ;D

That is the same as a winning drive in a 5k race. 8 drives a night would secure a minimum of 1k and that is ridiculous. What percentage of people in this country make a thousand a day at their job? Sorry, but driving a harness horse in a circle, for someone not very good at it, deserves nowhere near 1k a day and that 25 dollars per drive should get an annual 5 percent raise like the rest of the world.

Roc understands, he's no dope, smart actually, first he starts the thread wanting drivers to get a $100, then he sees it pissed off the gamblers and he upped it to $125 (more for his people and in his pocket) and puts it on the casino....knowing full well there is even a less of incentive in an already corrupt industry.
Now they can be paid A LIVING WAGE for not only under-performing but they have more to bet the other winner in their race.
Then fuckface Hay 4 sail comes along and says we give minimum tips even bad food servers, $2....The GAMBLER....they don't even want US to get food just starve to death on a bowl of SPIT!! WAR!!! ;D
-
There are still tracks that don’t even give you $25 for finishing out of the top 5. If a driver has a bad night with shitty post positions and long shots he could earn next to nothing!

ngc3 boo fucking hoo ngc3
I hope he (that driver) doesn't get robbed on the way home too, like the gamblers felt that backed him and took the long walk in the parking lot to their ride going for their keys and finding only lint instead of cash!
The gambler is the boss, not the bitch, but as longer as they act like suckers, they get what they get!

Nobody can live on 25 a drive

Compensate the drivers I think racing can become cleaner

Go ahead and give Atlee Bender and Ricky Macomber the $100 if you want to but I’d rather hit them in the face with a rubber mallet. Idiotic thread started just to rile up the horseploppers. Atlee should be working at Dairy Queen drive thru and Ricky should be a bus boy in the dining room.

See (UP), that is flawless MikeAnt it starts out nice and then pounds ya, and not defcon1 violence but deserving & proportional....I t also just so happens to be in agreement with the gambler perspective ( tmbz1), offers thoughtful, logical real world solutions. PERFECTION! 62za.clp

In the meantime, not to trivialize the holocaust, we're (The Gamblers) are like the malnourished anorexic perpetually tortured participants that churn the wheel of their lifestyle forced to figuratively eat our own excrement to survive most days while these faggot fucks lol in our face!
Their horses get, eat hay, we get hay -minus- hay = We're shit out of Hay! ;D

ease off! it might cost a couple hundo to put out a buffet w/ wangs, hot dogs, chili, chips, apples, cheese and a relish tray. Give the hard-working horse people a break.

I do not believe they should get any money for finishing worst than 5th...but I do think he should get 15 participation trophys for his efforts. Otherwise nobody will remember him in the future for his historic day!

There has to be some incentive for a driver to not to just put laps in.If a driver can increase his earnings by putting a horse in a spot to win or get a better chunk of the purse it will create better racing. Each track has a regular driver that ducks every time they draw the outside.

xactly. otherwise, in fairness, every horses entered to race would also receive an appearance bons, same as giving drivers a gaurantee

1) Not a bad job Ploppers -- we have an actual topic that other than a little of page 2, we stayed away from homosexuality acts happenings in moms basement.
2) Now onto Luc's topic. I guess I can see both sides of it. But I'm still not sure if rewarding below mediocrity with more money. Say a new upcoming driver has 5 drives on the card. He gets one check and with bad stock and bad posts finishes off the board with the rest. Maybe he made a $150. Lets say the card lasted 5 hours. He made on his catch driving gig $30/ hour....
If you can't live off that _ I get it - find you a side hustle. Jog horses in the morning, clean some stalls, Uber during the day. If your home track races 4 days a week, at 5 hours a card - should you expect to call it a week at 20 hours ?
I am a school teacher making so so money. But with twin boys graduating high school and going to college, I want to help and I work two days a week at the hospital after leaving the classroom. Just so I can help them out. But questioning , why do I need to inflate the value of the catch driver.... Either a not so good one, or one getting their feet wet ?
