Title: Final Pompano Meet
Post by: Wildwood on October 16, 2020, 09:46:15 AM
Any thoughts on what new trainers may show up for the final farewell & will fans be allowed in Florida by then?

I don't think you will get anyone special there. There is a lot of history there.

yes thats also correct. i know offtrack money dosent mean a lot of money for host track but last year i remember some pretty decent handles. a few 600,000 ,700,000 . at least i can bet some money there.

POMPANO WILL OUTLIVE ME!!!  IT WILL BE THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.    LONGER THAN MOST OF OUR LIFE SPANS!!

IN FACT , FLORIDA RACING CAN BE VERY LUCRATIVE IF THE RIGHT PARTIES GOT INVOLVED TO HELP PROMOTE THE SPORT.   

IHAVE BEEN TO POMPANO PARK THOUSANDS OF TIMES OVER THE LAST 30+ YEARS AND IN ITS HEYDAY!!  LOVE THE PLACE AND PERFECT FOR WINTER RACING!!!

AT SOME POINT THE HORSEMAN NEED TO BOND AND FORM A LEADERSHIP GROUP THAT CAN IN  FACT BOND TOGETHER TO PROTECT THEIR INTEREST AND QUITE POSSIBLY FORM GROUPS TO TAKE VARIOUS TRACKS AND RACINOS PUBLIC---TOGETHER TO PROTECT THEIR INTEREST

THIS IS POSSIBLE AND THE INDUSTRY CAN BE SAVED IF THE FOLKS TRULY CARE AND ARE NOT GREEDY ----MOST WANT FOR THEMSELVES.   I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN THIS CLIMATE AN IPO COULD BE COMPLETED FOR A TACK OR A COMBINATION OF TRACKS AND THERE IS PUBLIC MONEY AND INVESTORS AVAILABLE FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE.

THERE IS MONEY EVERYWHERE ---WORLD WIDE!!!

THE INDUSTRY HAS TRULY LACKED LEADERSHIP AND IT IS ALWAYS ---" ME ...ME... NOT WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU!"   THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT IS IN THE HANDS OF THE VERY FEW PARTICIPANTS LEFT IN THIS INDUSTRY AND I TRULY BELEIVE THAT IT CAN BE DONE!!!

JUST NEED THE RIGHT---POSITIVE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOU THE SPORT AND NOT TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS!

FREEMARKETS WORK IN STRANGE WAYS!   NO ONE IMPLIED A "STANDALONE" RACETRACK.   SIMPLY PUT, I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL CASINO LICENSES THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND FOR SALE AS I WRITE THIS.   IN FACT, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THESE LICENSES CAN BE BOUGHT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS IS NOT RUMOR BUT FACT.   

I HAVE LEARNED THROUGHOUT MY LONG LIFE TO NEVER JUDGE---I ONLY INVESTIGATE AND SOMETIMES YOU MAY LOOK AT THOUSANDS OF DEALS WITH NO LUCK AND THEN ONE DAY IT APPEARS.

I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL ANYONE ANYTHING.   NOR AM I INVOLVED IN ANY WAY ---I WAS  ONLY STATING FACTS AS I WAS APPROACHED BY THE PARTIES FOR VARIOUS SERVICES AND AS I STATE---I DID LISTEN BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE ALL LEARN---BY LISTENING!

I PERSONALLY LOVE POMPANO FOR AN EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT.  NOT SURE OF WHAT TAKES PLACE OR DOES NOT TAKE PLACE---I JUST ENJOY THE PLACE!!

WITH SPORTS BETTING HARNESS RACING HAS A DIM FUTURE.   BUT, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NOT A PLACE FOR THIS SPORT.  IT MEANS THAT FOLKS NEED TO WORK HARDER TO SAVE IT IN A FORM THAT IT CAN SURVIVE.

THE SALES HAVE BEEN GREAT SO FAR.  BIG DOLLARS CONTINUE TO FLOW THRU THE HANDS OF SO MANY---I WOULD GUESS SOME OF THESE FOLKS STILL LOVE THE SPORT AND ARE HAVING FUN!!

HOPE IT ALL CONTINUES FOR EVERYONE!

NEVER CONDEMN AN IDEA BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND THE FULL MECHANICS OF THE BUSINESS MODEL.  SOMETIMES, THERE IS MORE TO A TRANSACTION THAN MEETS THE EYE!

im amazed how many people claim pomp is crooked.  yes some people there have not so great history, but the racing is very formfull. i have had a number of years in a row with a profit betting there. like every track some races leave you scratching your head. overall unless crooked means the best horse win i have to say the racings been good. study watch replays and the results make perfect sense.   as for the history of some people, its the same at every track. some good some ok some bad.

AGREED.   I GO TO POMPANO SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK AND I LOVE IT!!!   HAVE LOTS OF FUN AND ENJOY RACING AND THE CASINO!

I PRAY IT STAYS OPEN FOREVER!

Pompano is now and always a fucking cheating crooked dump, piece of shit rathole like yonkers. Bring it public? IPO? this fucking horseplop is really a bunch of washed up losers if you think this heaping cesspool offers any value to the average person. NO ONE GIVES FUCK ABOUT THIS GAME
If I want to read watered down, vanilla, USTA propaganda, I'll read Hoofbeats. Please be more open and forthcoming in future posts, sir... :)

Better racing now that Bruce "the criminal"  Ranger and Pavia no longer driving there.
Wally, Ranger, Wallis, and Pavia a bunch of criminals. They set up more races then the Michigan boys.

I dont know who you are but why you are on this forum is a mystery to me. UNLESS-you happen to be a Casino worker who wants racing gone-so you trash it as much as you can.
You may just be a degenerate gambler and blame everyone for your miserable life.
Every post is the same BS trash-LIKE A BROKEN RECORD  43z.stf 43z.stf . If noone gives a fuck about this game--then why for fucks sake are you on here every day-howling like a little pussy.
