Today (on a Tuesday) their purses START at $12000 and some are $20.000- $25,000 WOWZA THRIVING THERE!!!
Casino's are thriving and harness racing is dying
Their purses have been that way for years thanks to the casino revenue.
They did increase the purse of the Spirit of Massachusetts trot by $50,000 but the overnight purses are virtually the same whether you think so or not. Unless you own horses who race there which I'm sure you don't, the purses are irrelevant. When you only handle $200,000 per card you're not thriving business wise, take away the casino revenue and the purses are $3000 tops.
I think his point was, without casino revenue horsemen would be getting alot less because tracks can't make it on their own nitwit.How many harness tracks do you think can make it on their own without handouts?
People earned their Social Security thru working or disability so it's not a handout like racetracks get, are you that fucking stupid?
Ever hear of government grants DUMBASS??
With increasing life expectancies most get way more than they paid in DUMBASS!!
