mr dalrae said it perfectly... drivers and trainers and track personal dont give two shits about anything but keeping the handout going
nobody cares about the betters or how to promote the game... just give us slot money, sport betting money any money and the same
nonsense will keep flowing.
one small example.. trace tetrick got photoed out for 2nd and watching the replay he never even pretended to try and urge the horse on..
doesnt matter if it would have helped the horse or not.. the fan or better sees this guy sitting like a statue and thinks hes getting screwed..
im not saying its fixed but you have to pretend to put out an effort if you want new betters....
changing subjects..im pretty sure the drivers are not supposed to talk to each other before the races as ive seen fines in the past for
just such a thing.. but just watch the horses before the race is getting ready to start and there they are talking back and forth like two friends
at the park..again new fans will think they are planning out the race to come...
you can surely see why lots of people who used to love betting harness racing have just had enough..
