It appears Pacer2 isn't smart enough to understand that online wagering pays back about 2-3% to the track and on track wagering returns 10% or more....if you do the math tracks don't wager enough to cover the cost of purses or operating cost. If not for the blood money there would be no money to cover the cost of racing....aka harness racing welfare

Can you please mention a few of the other ‘small minded’ people on plop as you missed a few names?

I’m sure there are a few others that can do this.

Opening Day at Plainridge was thriving!   At least 2 people not associated with the sport directly knew about this day.  At least!   The total combined handle was $161,212.27, as per USTA charts.  The total purses paid out.....$168,000.  The handle in its entirety did not cover the purses.  Thriving!

Nor the operating expenses.  tmbz1

As far as the subject of accusations of small brains, minds... ngc3

"Octopuses have the smallest brains among the "smartest" animals, displaying remarkable problem-solving, tool use, and observational learning with a highly distributed nervous system. Their brains are far smaller than mammals, yet they exhibit advanced cognitive abilities, including solving puzzles, navigating mazes, and recognizing human faces." ;D

If only octopuses were raining and driving the horses.  This shit might stand a chance then!

One of my favorite stories, and as the young kids say no cap, deadass.

In high school, long before I knew what harness racing was, there were "those" kids that were in "that" wing of the building.  Basically the speds and specials.  Flash forward 10 years.  The only person from my high school involved in harness racing was from that wing and was actually reasonably successful in the business.  Octopuses to the rescue!
