Hoosier started changing for the bad when small local trainers that only trained for themselves or had 1 or 2 small owners that would buy a few baby’s with hope of having a sire stakes champion all of sudden started training 20 or more horses for trainers/owners from out east. I suspect this is because the said trainer wouldn’t get approved for liceanse. The small trainer then all of a sudden learned the game and became an overnight sensation. Say what you want about Tyler George but he wins races from the detention barn, from the farm, stable from Hoosier Park,
For me this is a huge topic as to me HOoSIER PARK was the most fair racetrack on the planet as you could be fourth over and just sweep by with a honest pace but today this track caters to drug trainers as its a speed highway, At one time i really believed GABE PRUITT who knows the game well would be one guy that seemed to care but i was dead wrong as to me he is just another suit, If you told me 20 years ago that a driver like AARON MERRIMAN Would lead the nation in wins with a drive hard from start to finish every drive on every card i would never believe this could happen, To me HOSSIER rates with WESTERN FAIR and MOHAWK AND dover were its a chalk fest with racing that is hard to watch and every race at these tracks it a 1-5 who is tough to bet but they seem to win in todays racing.
