The Time for Indiana Horsemen to Act Is Now

Very well said Grandstand.

Tom- I understand why you'd like to get a deal made that would benefit harness racing and the horsemen.
My question is, what have either entity done to promote harness racing and bring in new fans consistently? Because without retaining current bettors and simultaneously bringing in new bettors, it will keep spiraling downward.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Whenever horsemen had an opportunity to "negotiate" the eventual deal, first, they consistently were outmanned, outgunned, out-maneuvered, and everything else. They were foolish. They never got the best of the best to represent them. Foolish decision. When you walk into a room to do business and negotiate a deal, look around the room and find the sucker. If you can't find them, then guess what? It's YOU! You're the sucker! Second, when they ended up getting the money from the "bad deal" they made, they were foolish. They blew it. Foolish. See the pattern? Foolish.

"Why? Because without horse racing, there would have been no legal gambling in Indiana in the first place"


It's quotes like these that make you wonder how far up their assess these guys have their heads. Entitled welfare cheats.

Looking at the numbers, it does look like Indiana may be the only Harness Track who's handle is actually up. I don't watch
Hoosier but by the numbers the place looks promising.
