Down, down, down
« on: January 23, 2025, 08:26:39 AM »
Handle down, purses down, race dates down.  Starting year 3 of 5-10% declines, without adjustments for inflation.

Is there anything heading up, up, up, except for costs?

This trend can not continue indefinitely.

Need some superstar horses or drives, or maybe some more celebrity owners would help.  Maybe Elon is interested in harness racing?

  • dougie: Trig, i've never seen so many people so obsessed about posting about one person. There are so many other issues to talk about. If they don't support Mike's effort to clean up the harness racing issues, that's fine. But to have one post after another with no let-up is just kind of crazy.

  • Trigger: I'm not mad at Mike or you, you're just annoying the shit out of us for months...I come here for fun, Mike allowed plop to be a real time info landing spot for focal info...yet Calhoun, Kirby, G, ScrapeThePaint, Pacer 2 go, dozens others, you too go after him and his family, even his attempt to earn for years.  What should happen wiggles44?
