Will all horses need to qualify?

[LUCPARK]

Most people would rather qualify anyways if off too long. This ain’t good for anybody with any skin or time in this game.

prob see 3 days of qualfiers at tracks like meadows,,hoosier ,ohio tracks,

bigm,,

especailly if this goes to mid june when the 2 yr olds start comin out.

Going forward, racing had better come up with a better way of retaining and attracting new players. If anyone thinks when they flip the switch and turn this game back on that, players will flock to the same old product, is a fool.
 If qualifying races for horses that have been off for extended periods is a burden to the horsemen and owners, it is imperative to give every effort to inform and protect the betting public. Not only should these horse need to qualify before racing, they should lower the qualifying times to show a real level of competitiveness.

WHO gives a RATS ASS. This all you retards have to think about.
Get a new hobby. SLINGO should work for you simpletons.

[Carnival People]

Based on estimation that most tracks will be off for several months, Once they re-open, will every single horse need to qualify before an actual race?

Gonna make handicapping very challenging the first couple weeks back

This is going to be a non issue.  When the virus starts to spike downward  and the other stages of the FBI operation are going to sink the industry once and for all.   There is talk now that there will be no racing anywhere and the industry will never recover from these two thing the virus and the arrests.  Already there are no people and it will only be worse because this is a great trauma to society and people will not go to places like a racetrack.  It will take years for the average person to get over this virus phobia because the worst is yet to come.  You might have one or two tracks but the harness industry is done.  There are hundreds of arrests coming and add that to the affects of the virus and there is no hope.  It is all over.  I just sold a stallion share for 10 cents on the dollar.  Just forget it.  My mares are not being bred back this spring and I was smart to wait to breed them.  They will just live out their lives at my son in law's farm.

Exactly

horsemen will say it's a burden

It's not about you --- it's about trying to get the customer to come back. Why is this business  in almost every case dependent upon the casino's writing a check to keep the sport afloat.

some time ago
Management stopped caring about facilities.
Management started allowing ridiculous amounts of time between races
Management didn't get with the times with comps and rebates equal to casino's
Horsemen have done a lousy job assuring the customer that the business is on the up and up.

Wow -- let me grab a group of people and run to the local track

All sides forgot who the customer is and the importance they play. We all know it, there is a time, maybe sooner rather than later. The state of Ohio is running hundred million dollars behind on tax revenue.  Legislature will need to find income resources from somewhere. So if they grab from the purse account, then what ? Whine and say that's our money ? Then what has the industry done to help itself become sufficient over the last decade ?

This is going to be interesting as millions are piling onto the unemployment side of life. Remember the
customer ? They guy who buys burgers at McD's….. The person who buys a car from Ford.....
Not sure of any business that goal is to treat the customer as down the line in importance.

Harness Industry -- asked many times, what ya going to do to change ?
for starters, qualify the horses and put the races online.... Wahhh then we have to bring a video camera guy in

[The Exporter]

Dink, this is the time a leader or clear and meaningful leadership is paramount. Since we don't have that on an industry level, I see the states as the bodies that will make the decisions based on their needs at the time without a master plan.
 It will prove disastrous for any sought of success in moving the industry forward.

[No_Head_Number]

It will be a hot mess. No racing for six months, at least. Then, the arguing, claims of favoritism, start over who gets to qualify first. The last thing anybody wants, is to have to wait around for weeks to squeeze into a qualifier, after racing resumes.

That's a bit much. 6 months ? Not quite. In Ohio the shutdown is only till April 30th.

[cigar]

Any horse that raced within 2 weeks of shutdown, should not have to qualify.
Qualifying is useless the thourobreds don’t do it.
