He's too dumb to realize the casinos would make alot more money if they weren't giving some of it away to the racetracks.

i think some of the threads dealing with the overall state of the industry would be more beneficial if we knew if some people commenting had money invested in the sport
i am not suggesting that those that don't cannot understand the state of the industry but it seems based on some comments many posters have an axe to grind with harness racing
to be clear harness racing is far from perfect and has done nothing in the last 20 years or more to really help itself especially from a gambling/attendance perspective, but that doesn't mean it should be banished
for all those saying how the money funneled into harness racing needs to be pulled back to allow governments to use it in other areas, just think for a minute , based on past experiences do you really want these politicians deciding where these funds go , most of them could not run a hot dog cart in a park

as for the ownership of horses i will start
i own 2 race horses
i own between 25% -50% of 4 broodmares and their foals etc
I'm no diamond creek but its enough

Tracks were doing great until The State Lotteries , OTB

and now casinos came along ...


I am not saying I donot like casinos....but I also

like racetracks...

The industry took the handouts, turned its back on its customers, then sold out to the casino companies. Now the industry cannot exist without the handouts.

So, it's time to try and make some money.
