Title: Qualifiers should pay a purse
Post by: Inside The Pylons on August 15, 2019, 08:45:10 AM
 or at least give everyone a check.  It costs real money for gas and tolls to ship to a track for a qualifier, so there should be a reimbursement of some type.

Maybe the track should charge owners for qualifying races.

Maybe you shouldn’t of invested in the sport.  Hire a cheaper trainer

The only way I could see charging for Q is if the money went to testing.... ( which is worthless anyway )


I remember a Saturday morning back in my days at Scioto,   they announced an hour before Q's that the state was there to test..... It look like a drag strip of shippers moving out and horses in the first race that were already in paddock rolling out and down the hill,,,, scratched (cough cough ) due to illness....  I was going to drive one that morning that didn't make it.... ngc3

Qualifiers shouldn't be required.  It is an unnecessary expense to owners.  Bettors are smart enough to realize that if a horse makes repeated breaks he's a risk to bet.  What does a slow mile  prove?  He can go slow without making a break while loaded up with a painkiller?  Waste of time for anyone involved.

I have too agree. If there were no Q races, the risk to the gambler is not raised.

I get what some say NO Qualifiers

but

Then there should be ZERO standards for racing...… Multiple breaks.... Very slow times...…


Horse stops in a middle of race and backs thru the field pacing a mile 2:06. Normally that would get you on
the list to qualify..... Should those horses not have to meet a standard since there are no qualifiers ?

This is 110% on the mark.

I can't see pay-outs for Q.  However, in an era of participation trophies ... I do believe that horses out of the top 5 oughta get 1% as a participation gift.
