Rules and testing? Of course they do. That has zero today with what we are talking about.

It is thriving for quite a few names I mentioned, not the everyday horsemen!

When they first had their Super Sunday card around 8 to 10 years ago the (3) Invitationals went for $250,000 each, then $200,000, then $150,000 and $100,000 the past few years. On a normal 15 race card their average purse is under $10,000 and the casino is half empty and located in a terrible and high crime area with boarded up houses nearby, with a small prison 2 blocks away.

No, rife with criminal activity and a regulatory that defies any known parallel sport's regulatory.

These regulatory should be in touch with law enforcement constantly, not just racing violations being assessed and discussed but actual organized crime activity.

Someone buys into racing, buys horses, hires a trainer, insists on running a clean stable, and goes up against the likes of these drugging, race tampering scum.

Gambling is pretty much done and where it still relies CAW comes in to screw the gamblers when they're not staging, fixing races so they all get their share.  Knowingly racing lame, sick, not ready, dangerous horses, horses that will be a no try, what the heck is that.

Some old lady shoving her cash into a slot machine and some empty suit legislator allowing that money, other clean money an even tax payer money to fund this nonsense.

Pacer 2, you anyone can say antagonistic things, but a thief is a thief, and if they steal from us, excluding the regulatory, cops, seems like a fun option to join in and get a piece, more like a stolen piece back.

These people loading up with cash from this wide spread "thriving" doing it the wrong way might find themself in more danger than they could ever imagine.

If sites like this are monitored by le, fbi, here's a message to them...bang up job you're doing enforcing and preventing  ngc3, next one you bring in of these hopefully takes a detour to the hospital or morgue. Handle it the same way if they stole money from you and yours and destroyed your life with immunity.

The world is divided simply between good and bad, corrupt and with integrity, law abiding and the criminal, paid to protect with eyes closed or open, guess who is winning?

Money is worthless to a rich deceased thief.

More evidence of thriue fving   https://ustrottingnews.com/harness-racing-stars-at-philly-for-super-sunday/


If not for the revenue from the casinos half the tracks you say are thriving wouldn't even be here. On track handle and attendance at most of these thriving tracks are next to nothing. They couldn't stand on their own and the purses would be almost nothing.

I've heard dozens of interviews with older trainers saying they used to race for $1500 purses and are thrilled to race for big money now. They're making great money.

I knew owners and trainers who used to race for $500 back in the 70's in Delaware and ran over 50 times a year and were hard pressed to earn $10,000. For the people who just got in to racing 10 years ago it's good but most of the old timers who never made money have passed away. Even with the higher purses it's still difficult for the cheaper horses to make money because expenses are so high. The purses aside, business at most racetracks drop every year which certainly isn't thriving.
