I think for the most part the 'cryin' about the handle is due to the sport being welfare vs. betting...but both matter.
so handle wont work,, yet welfare peeps bitch about
mights well just turn out the lights
then no more 'cryin', move on to sumethin else
i have a friend that trains for himself. only has 3 horses. if he gets 2 wins a year its a good year. this is at saratoga. he buys cheap, sells cheaper. he got a 3rd place check last week. so without the welfare he has no chance of continuing. yet i read kenny saying 'the only solution is to end the handouts'. for the huge operations i can understand. but the little guy would be gone. need the little guy to fill cards and races. and after all i just said, handle/welfare can only go so far. close the doors
