Title: Harness racing totem pole
Post by: Open bridle on April 22, 2023, 10:23:17 AM
Who should be at the top of the harness racing totem pole ?  Any opinions on who is most important to harness racing's future ?   The owners, trainers, drivers, care takers, fans, bettors, breeders, good horses, race tracks, casinos, management , etc.   I say the owners. Without them spending their money harness racing would die on the vine.

"If you build it, they will come."

"They" are the GAMBLERS, otherwise this wouldn't be a forum, it ain't an Olympic sport, none of the others would exist of any great importance, and if so on such a minor level it would be on the non existent cable channel ESPN Horsee  ;D

The casinos. Without them , most of the tracks would have no money to have purses to keep people in the business

And what would casino do without GAMBLERS? 

It's like a rolled ground ball question, through another set of legs!   ;D

It's almost like the chicken and egg question. Without one of these you can't have the other.

"Back to our original question: with amniotic eggs showing up roughly 340 million or so years ago, and the first chickens evolving at around 58 thousand years ago at the earliest, it's a safe bet to say the egg came first. Eggs were around way before chickens even existed."

With that said, GAMBLERS are the EGG!  ;D

Scrambled for me please.

Perfect choice, and on a fresh roll with, melted cheese, bacon, ketchup for me.

Better than what they treat us as - ROTTEN!   ;D

I think the GAMBLER sitting a top of a STANDARDBRED (or Thoroughbred) at the top of the totem poll is a fair image. 

In the background a shuttered glue factory converted into a prison that now house the guilty scumbags therein makes a sweet picture.   ;D
