Just read on horses for sale on ONGAIT.....Harrin gton is cutting purses.....misinf ormation????
-
Just checked their condition sheet for Opening Night. The Open Handicap had been $22,500, it's down to $18,000 which is a 20% cut. Most likely it's a 20% purse cut across the board, still better than the purses at Harrah's Philly.
-
Don't forget the bonus for Delaware-owned which is the vast majority of the horses that race at both Harington and Dover. It starts at 20% and can go as high as 40% as the season progresses. Delaware is a great place. Year-round racing, great horse population, and very reasonable real estate pricing.
-
I agree with you 100%. Dover allows a few out of state trainers in, but none of them ever go to Harrington.
-
its trumps fault. just ask cory booker and AOC
-
Beard owners and trainers dumping horses so real owners can get them back in real owners' name.
Chick selling one who has won 6 out of last 8 with a 2nd and 3rd because purse cut? WTF
It's all just a ruse!

"ruse" "an attempt to mislead by a false impression."

So Frank Chick fits that description????
For who

Who's he fronting for
That I don’t know. There are some theories out there but nothing concrete. Some say wags, some say Kevin Lare, no one knows for sure. But his spending habits have drastically changed over the past several years. Yet no one ever questions why.

I've known Frank for almost 30 years, and he was always a cheap skate. Got into trouble with his horse auctions that he held at the fairgrounds. Then all of a sudden, he's filthy rich and buying horses by the dozen. I know he sold one for big money years ago. And your right he always Flys below the radar. But this is Delaware and DHRC doesn't like to rattle the cage!

What kind of trouble with the sales
-
Any answer for Frank stopping the sales?

I knew Frank from back at Brandywine Raceway. He and another guy named Joe were part owners of a $5000 claimer. He had little money back then but when Delaware got slots, the horse racing industry in Delaware picked up and he opened his business in Harrington and has done well with it. He's also had a few very nice horses who made nice money, one filly in particular that he ended up selling.

Frank opened CHICKS mid 1980s
....slots came to Delaware mid 1990s...your timeline is way off
-
All I said was his business picked up after Delaware got slots, which it did. I never said anything about what year they got them, but don't worry, your participation trophy is on the way.

Bought my first jog cart from Chicks. Always dealt with Jimmy. Good guy. Used to have equipment and returns auctions on site. The warehouse was a cluster fuck!
-
Hey ARRIVE7100...CHIC K comes from wealth ....you know so little...take your participation award and shove it
-
If he came from wealth as you say, how come he didn't have a pot to pee in then? I may have to rescind your participation trophy due to ignorance.
-
Please don't

Saratoga just increased.
Ebb and flow of this biz...or
