Is the Pompano handle increase because greyhound racing ended? Having less options at OTB and ADW must help some. The question is whether harness follows the greyhounds right off the screen or the absence of greyhounds help save harness.
-
No help at all, harness will be next to go
-
Would have to say yes in Florida as to Harness being the next to go ! guaranteed not in any of our lifetimes!

The ONLY solution to save harness racing is contraction.

Cigar I got out in the 80's and back then you had packed grandstands and racing was good. It never had to get the way it has but you could see in the latter 80's it was heading for what we have now. If it was cleaned up I would be back in a heartbeat and there are many more who left that would too. It's over and you can bank that.
Did you keep your grooms licence up or would you have to reapply.
-
So you got out in 1980 that’s almost 40 years and been paying for a Liscense you don’t use? You must have graduated from a Ivy League school with a major in business right? Btw these horses changed a little in 40 years 210 don’t get you a win or let alone qualified in 2021.
-
37 years to be exact and I'm not hurting for money. I can do what I please and with my farm and training centre is why I keep it up to date. If something interests me at the sales all my licensing is in order.
That’s like keeping condoms in your wallet, and hoping to get lucky for 37 years tmbz1

Whatever tmbz1
What’s the matter? Your on here bashing people that are in the game but you haven’t been in it for 40 years. What makes you think you can even do it again? You obviously have some sort of issues(we all do) but you keep posting your stuff like tour some kind of racing genius. You ain’t won shit in 40 years just because you have a Liscense doesn’t make you anything just a dummy that spent thousands on something you didn’t need. Get in the game and show everyone how smart and talented you are than talk about all the trainers in the game like you do. You are nothing more than a Monday morning quarterback or maybe this will explain it better to you iceman=stroke keep the condom in your wallet they can stick you in the ground and in another 40 years maybe it will turn into a gold bar.

The only thing getting bitch slapped is you slapping your Johnson ngc3 ngc3
You sound like a fool crying about everyone else when you ain’t done shit in 37 years! Another hall of famer you ngc3 ngc3

Yep, pompano handle up 300 percent,. Gulfstream takes in 15 mill a card, not that they needed help.
-
Doggies were handling so little for a long time that it couldn't possibly help.

When someone tells you. "I got out of the business.." 100% of the time it means they couldn't compete, got down to 1 horse and went tits up. No they are on the outside looking in wishing they could be in on the action.

Your not in the game either iceman!!!! Your just a guy that bashes the game and people in it.
-
Know it all when I got out I made money in the game. With all the drugs coming into the game it made no sense to chase after 2nd and 3rd money it still costs the same per horse per day per month and per year. And now you have what you have and the game is dead. But why am I telling you the facts when your not in the game nor ever have been. Your just a gambler and a follower.
Yur such a fuckin bustout. I've met many goofs that think they know everything but yur the absolute King. Every topic you seem to be an expert on. Loser.
-
Major league zero. Wants to be somebody so bad. But, just a fucking burr on the sick of society.
-
Iceman you sure seem to have a following o mighty one. Why don’t you post your stats and tell us about your hall of fame training success 40 years ago? It’s easy to hide behind a computer ain’t it and call out everyone. Real men don’t hide and play guess who I am do they?

The ONLY solution to save harness racing is contraction.
saw what that did to handles at B level tracks when only a handful were racing at B level tracks at the start of covid.
Why did runners survive last year with only 1% drop in handle in 2020 ? Big pools and big fields. That's what bettors want.
With big runner tracks going right now, and you see Tampa Bay Downs handling 250k a race, there is horse racing money out there. Hell even Turfway Park in Northern KY, which has no grandstand handles a 150k per race at night.
-
This trend will be corrected with casinos allowed to increase the in house population. The coup De Grace will be right behind that with mobile sports betting all around the country. The market for harness racing will suffer greatly.

It's 2021, everybody bets from computer or phone. You don't need a grandstand anymore and most are still closed anyway.

The market for harness racing has been suffering for years. It's almost completely gone. Most people just don't like it and are not interested in it. The reputation is also that every race is fixed so that kills any chance of new players as well.

It's a dead game laddie's
-
YOU BUGGY BOYS BETTER BE PAYIN ATTENTION OR CANT YOU AFFORD IT? ngc3
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE PROTESTS IN CAPITAL CITIES WHEN CASINOS START TO SHUT DOWN HARNESS TRACKS LIKE OIL PIPELINES.
GONNA MAKE THE TRUMP INSURRECTION SEEM MINOR
-
Choices will need to be made. Harness racing still has a solid partner in state agriculture. Going forward, it is the overnights that are most vulnerable and with decreasing influence.
-
Thoroughbreds are under pressure from PETA more so than harness. In general, Standardbreds are more structurally sound, have longer racing careers. Deaths at Santa Anita, chemists like Navarro, Baffert, Hollendorfer, et al, all have lead to more scrutiny. Harness should be racing that survives.
-
thats true that the old money in the tbreds will keep things going. enough oil barrons are into the flats.
-
Some guys will do time and than be right back in racing, you can’t keep them from earning a living as long as they do their time they are good. Racing jurisdictions will get sued and be forced to Liscense them once one of them wins a case it sets precedence for the rest.
