We can't convince people to become fans of horse racing with the promise of Super Hi Five jackpots, and lower takeouts on the Win Fours. People in the general public don't care about those things.

Are you saying guarantees make a difference?

They make more of an interest in betting--which actually drives the sport-than fractional ownership subsidized by slots.

I will agree with one thing Macdonald said--the marketing teams employed by the harness racing industry are horrendous. I can see one reason being that almost every job in harness racing is a nepotism hire. Like hiring someone who clearly knows next to nothing about social media as your 'social media marketing director'. If you cannot  explain with CPC means or something basic like SEO--you shouldn't be hired for that position.

Harness racing reminds me of poker rooms in vegas prior to rounders coming out.   7 sharks at the table and 1 fish.  New blood has no shot.  People complain about take outs but the issue is most bettors are veterans so your competing against other people who know what they are doing.

I support fractional ownership and respect Anthony for being one of the biggest marketers, but getting caught doping took the shine off for me.

..."getting caught for doping". He had a therapeutic overage, correct? I understand how it looks. How as soon as one sees a drug drug or medication violation, they assign the worst possible infraction. I would not throw out the only bright spot of growth in the industry for a minor infraction. Harness racing never was and never will be a pure sport. Those who demand it be , will always be disappointed.

harness is like sports
to compete and win the horses/athletes need the best help they can get in terms of supplements etc( note i did no say drugs) to train and perform at high levels
it is a fine line between what is an acceptable supplement and what is on the banned list in sports and racing
note i am not comparing supplements/vitamins etc to some of the more serious drug offences that take place
this is a general response on the topic not related to the stable per say

Promoting entertainment is the wrong idea in my opinion. We hear a lot about our BUSINESS that needs to be self sustainable to a better extent. We are NOT entertainers. We are BUSINESS people. Promote that. Bring in big business people and they will have events at the track and explain the real business that we are in. Big business people love to throw money around. Let them throw it into out BUSINESS. the only ones making money is the Macdonald crew....   that doesn't look good for investors....
