As long as Beshear is gov it will thrive  he is a huge supporter  of the racing industry

His term is only until December 2027.  Then what?

Sure it’s thriving no RESTRICTIONS like at the Hebrew owned track out east

No stupid fees like the  Hebrew track out east

Better purses better horses

Everyone is moving away from the east coast racing

Fact
REAL AMERICANS DONT TAKE A KNEE

Outside the stakes races they have, not much of a driving colony for overnights (even though they race afternoons) LOL!

yes , its no secret its the place to be
some smart folks scooped up big dollars 4 or 5 years ago when fields were small and competition weak
it will take time for kentucky to grow their overnight racing
oak grove and corbin are not exactly big cities that are easy to get to
however over the next 3 years you will see some trainers relocate and some drivers will follow
farms and training centers are increasing as well

The same thing happened in Massachusetts and Plainridge over the last few years-especially the stakes program.

Both programs also run their programs after other states are finished with theirs!

Fact

Yes, having the horses at two tracks is very good to build fan interest in the future. Horseman are so stupid.

Have mares in KY and stallions in a state like PA and forget about the grand circuit.

From what I see beyond a few KY Sire Stakes Races

and maybe The Tattersalls and some Big Trot Races

the racing is below average...

Very small pools...Monticell o gets way more..

No serious wagering at The Red Mile for decades.

They get some attendance during sale week other than that

not much..

The other Kentucky tracks are offering high purses

higher than the Wagering pools for most of the races..

how long will the powers that be keep taking the losses.?


A bunch of hillbillies beyong the top 10 drivers.

what losses?

Kentucky has huge purses due to HHR(historical horse racing)machines--similar to a slot machine

they have legislated a large amount of money to ALL of the tracks for purses--Churchill/Keeneland/Ellis/Turfway/Ky Downs/Thunder Ridge/Oak Grove-and Lexington

Red Mile overnights are not a part of the windfall

can we please stop staring at the handles and correlate them with profits?

handle means nothing-but so many people erroneously think they do
