Fear the dragons will be better this coming yr
Yes, he's has so many good Seasides this year. He probably will sweep the 1st leg of the Sires Stakes next Sat. also. 1.50 is grand circuit material. I doubt if last yrs champion gulf shores can beat that.
Colt hasn’t even qualified back yet has he?
Burke racing & the partners want every last penny. Their greed is bad for the game. It has accelerated the exodus of the few fans that were left.
What if the money generated in each state for the stake purses stayed in the same state. That would be a new concept. Let's say for Ohio a horse must be Sired and 100% Ohio owned to be eligible to race in any Ohio stake races. All states would have the exact same requirements. Only the Grand Circuit would be open to anyone from anywhere.
I have always questioned the B and C level casino tracks that race for good money and a couple of times a year will have Invitationals that will go for 100k 200k ++ and if these type of races are really necessary.As on track handle falls faster than the Titanic and racetrack operations have shifted their business model to online as it obvious by the post time drags and the lack of upgrade in facilities --- Then Why give hundreds of thousands of purse money that is going to be snatched up by out of town trainers / in many cases out of town drivers / out of town owners --- instead of putting that money back into the purse account for the local horsemen and writing series that are dedicated to horsemen that race at that track or that state ?
I still say all stakes should be written sired and 100 owned in that state. Keep the money where it came from.
THEN CASINOS, GOD BLESS THEM, SHOULD BAND ALL OUT OF STATERS FROM GAMBLING IN OHIO. LET YOU CRYBABIES LIVE OFF WHAT YOUR OWN PEOPLE SPEND. OHIO BILLIES ONLYMAN PEOPLE LIKE THE ABOVE IDIOT ARE JUST PLAIN FOOLSNO ID, NO ENTRY.
