#1 problem in the industry

[seriously]

$131,000 over 15 races at 2PM eastern at Scioto Downs.

Put that same card at Hawthorne or The Meadowlands and the public would wager 10X as much, and possibly more. 

Just a HUGE waste of racing aside from people who own/train/drive.

Why not just run them in the AM for purse money only.

Is it a huge waste of racing or you just jelious your not involved

 SAYS THE IDIOT WHO ANNOUNCES HE BETS WYATT IRVINE

[seriously]

I guess the beauty is harness racing could go away tomorrow and I still would not want for anything...so not being involved is hardly a big deal.

I know several people "involved" and I wouldn't trade with any of them. 

I enjoy the sport and know for a fact that wasting so much horse power on zero fans will lead to only one end. 

If the "sport" is run for the benefit of those involved, simply eliminate wagering completely.  You could finish the 15 races in well under 2 hours and save countless salaries.

The anger permeating this board from those involved seems to speak to its true nature.

And as for Wyatt, he drives so few and if you select him properly he is a great ROI guy.

Will they handle what they're giving out in purses? If so, can't be much more.

Yeah...but you can't walk into the next building and play your favorite slot machines after the races at Hawthorne or M1.  So, WTF?

Seems to me that my REPORTS show many different Net W/L%.   So if you think a horse has to win in order for a person's ROI to be positive, well, I guess you truly do belong here.  

And I would venture the $2.20 was a typo and not a case of opening one's mouth to remove all doubt.

Maybe that helps too.

# 1 problem is lack of owners and horses. Not worth breeding or owning with all the drug trainers and skyrocketing cost of owning and breeding.

 There are too many of the Over the Hill Generation trying to run the organization using 1975 as their benchmark.  Those old fucks who ruined the sport in the first place with their arrogance, should just shut the fuck up, get the fuck out and let the modern generation take over and try to overcome the shit the last generation left them.
