The entire sport is a participation trophy…. In the race for gambling dollars the horsemens product they put on the track,,, lost… The sports books,,, slot machines,,, table games…. They won… They out competed you…. If you think the also rans in a horse race don’t deserve anything because they didn’t earn it… Give the subsidies back,,, you didn’t earn those overinflated purses…. You took from the winners,,, and gave it to yourselves,,, the losers…
