"lives" is a kind word. Pools were about $3k per race yesterday

today race 1 win pool $322--place pool--$45--show pool $73--exacta pool $165

Oh wow now that is embarrassing. Why even bother?

$10 win bet would drop the odds from 15-1 down to 2/5. If the purses were based off the wagering pools they would have been racing for a total purse of around $80 per race. Winning driver gets $4.
Its beyond atrocious. Just a sad preview of what happens when the decoupling starts.

When the plan for the new place in Plymouth fell through many michigan owners dumped their stock rather than fund the longer shipping to Ohio and Indiana, just to hope for a check. The Hastings situation was on and off a couple of times. The number of entries will atleast quadruple in the coming weeks IMO!

If it hasnt already happened, can they have the 1st Skip DeMull pace there?

Correction, winning driver gets 2 bucks unless also the trainer.
