Kentucky harness racing

[stanetelman]

Cumberland run gave out $1 million in purses and handled $60,000 for the 12 races!  Won't be long before the cries for decoupling will be heard.

Anybody have stats for Thunder Ridge?

this a highly incorrect viewpoint

the Commonwealth of Kentucky has passed legislation allocating extra millions for purse monies via the HHR--historical horse racing--a type of slot machine which shows replays of races from decades ago

that is why you see monstrous purses for Cumberland Run and Thunder Ridge....handle means nothing

have you seen the purses at Turfway, Ellis, Keeneland,Kentucky Downs,  Churchill recently?

Kentucky has embraced and invested in horse racing-both breeds

they are not looking to decouple

The state of KY is buying harness racing.  It will be the only place left in the future. The only other winner might be Ohio. There will be lots of duel eligible horses racing in both programs.
