The racetracks are all saying Please take the money away so we can shut down a product that does very little for us and let us just have our cash cow casinos.. Horsemen deserve to lose the money, they have done nothing to promote or help the sport since they started receiving the welfare checks

To be honest, I don't know what a horsemen's group can do to grow the sport and handle. For all the people who advocate a huge and expensive marketing campaign, they need to rethink that. Advertising a product that is unappealing is ridiculous.
 Giving up 5% of the purse account to do this is foolish. Giving up 5% of purse account to better police the current product is a solid investment. Once you can up with a program that builds confidence and trust in your current fans and gamblers, you can then advertise for more market share.
 I have some thoughts on such a program.

There`s no fixing it. It`s been done for a long time. Every day moving forward is a gift just like the last 20 years. The horsemen should thank god that they made what they did! Everything comes to an end.

The first thing that must be built is trust. I don't agree nothing can be done. Trust can be built the old fashion way. By doing what you say.

Once simulcasting took off it opened the doors to watch better racing and wager on it. Exit the railbirds. Then ADW came along and you can wager anywhere by phone. Exit all brick and mortar. It's 2020 not 1990 and while there is a lot more money in the world there are far more ways to spend it on entertainment. Harness racing was a niche sport couldn't hold a candle to the thoroughbreds. There is not a track that can handle and fund it's purses to the tune owners willing to race for that would allow to pay the cost of owning. There is NO sport and the 5% usage of funds to market is a waste of time. They could spend 10x that and still the interest would be zilch. It's a stale product that races at a mile and most of the race is single file. So thrilling to the average person!!! Not really. Harness racing has no growth because it never had any foresight the past 2-3 decades.

  • Sound off !
  • Trigger: We better focus like Calhoun said on doing the homework, as of now we couldn't pick a show winner in a 4 horse race.  Then we'll take down a score.

  • Papillon: I don't think they are playing every combo, but they are betting more $ in the carryover races
    Today at 03:25:17 PM
  • Trigger: Flawed, if there is a carryover not every combo is being played.  You can't make money having playing AAAAAA if there 200 winners.  If CAW is winning everything why play, they're surviving off a low % of rebate against win/loss and work with gigantic volume.

  • Papillon: o agree with MTP1972-much more CAW action in the carryovers-not sure how much more than standard-the carryover is a mirage
    Today at 03:12:37 PM
  • MTP1972: I have a different take on carryovers. If you're betting a track who has a good handle like Mohawk the Early Pick 5 pool is around $100,000, maybe $50,000 for the Pick 4 pool. When there's a carryover the CAW's bet thousands into the pool and have every combination covered multiple times. In a smaller pool there's a better chance for a big score because less of their money is in there, same for the Pick 6 in California.

  • Trigger: Thanks Calhoun, GL to you too, big scores ahead!  Check out Mohawk last Sat early p5, $67891.89 .20 payout w/ 3 horses < 3-1 odds, the other 2 races, nw1 and claimers, wow, the perfect storm.

  • Calhoun: Yeah, moron is way too lazy.
    Today at 02:34:32 PM
  • Calhoun: Trigger, $25k/$500per week. Sounds great. IMO, you have 2 best options. 1) 100% of play on certain CarryOvers.  Pick-5 Carryovers are best. Pro is Near EV or +EV. Con is it's a ton of work in 1 day at worst or 3/4 days at best. But $500 gets you a lot of coverage. ..2) Focus 100% on one track, WITHOUT a lot of ship Ins. Woodbine, Remington, SoCal and Texas fit. WDB and Rem closed/closing. Whichever you choose, you need to know every single horse. You MUST have access to workout videos. You need to learn trainers. Good Luck
