He won 2 earlier races by a nose, so what’s the point?

They let Burke race under his brothers name while he has days , why should it be different for anyone else

Burke didn’t change ownership from himself to his wife. Yes that was a bunch of bullshit too but not the same set up. Mickey Jr got a positive while down for Ronnie and no one said a word about that either.

I thought John Rallis was good It appears he was only temporary.

Blowe and Bratt must have a yearly contract and not a per diem because every winter they take turns sitting next to Randy--Rallis reappears once the tbreds open at Woodbine

Elissa Blowe is completely worthless in her analysis/comments

I am certainly not a horseman but here is an idea....

the leader at the 1/4 pole gets 10% of the purse
the leader at the 1/2 pole gets 10% of the purse
the leader at the 3/4 pole gets 10% of the purse

the other 70% you can divide to the top four finishers--maybe 40/15/10/5

at least the races would be more interesting to watch

Right or wrong this is what needs to be discussed in meeting the things that can make this product viable,     Something else this game needs is a reporter that is not controlled and in fear from the horrible people that run this game and when someone is cheating or abusing this game the reporter needs to feel he can write about it with out being fired,      The people reporting on this game with very carefully written articles have put this game in a state of crises and it still might be to late,    The game needs to drive people back to the track and a huge drop in rake for those at the track would maybe bring people back and get real handicappers not like RANDY or the guy at the BIG M who treats the game like its a circus and when talking about gambling he tell you exactly how not to play this game with the stupidity the comes out and he might be a nice guy but not qualified for his job,   A few years ago i was watching a show from SANTA ANITA and the guy who makes the track odds was not happy when he posted a horse called MASTER DERBY at 12-1 morning odds and he went off at 2-1 because he took his job with pride and wanted to do it like a pro and i said to myself is anyone watching this at any other racetrack.
