I don't know if you're aware of this or not but the legislators in PA are so clueless when it comes to horse racing. Around 8 years ago they passed a bill and started charging the ADW's a 10% fee for taking bets from PA residents forcing the smaller ones to close the accounts of PA residents. The larger ADW's made some kind of deal and weren't affected.

Here's the best part, their reasoning for doing it was to increase on track attendance and handle which had no chance of happening.

of course-the juice trainers receive most of the welfare and the legislators have no idea

Doc Moore has forgotten more about horses than most horsemen, especially the young punks. Don't believe me: just check out how well about five horses have done since leaving his barn last year---all going to the juice heads who thought they were going to crush. Joel and the Jets, oops straight to zero. Ask Mitch Cushing how he's liking Set Shot. The horse was managed perfectly: never set foot on a van with the exception of a 30 minute run over to Grand River where he didn't even have to race in the elimination. He just didn't improve and also suffered a physical set back and further to that the others smelt blood and raced him hard. That's usually doesn't end up well. I wouldn't be the least surprised if Doc gets him to win a few major ones before this season is over. Was he great Saturday, no but he did come a big big back half in against salty older foes.

His fortunes might change since "G" supposedly just moved 10 of his 3-legged horses to his immaculate farm last Saturday.

I'm not talking about diversifying WHO they trade with.   I'm talking about the diversity of WHAT they have to trade.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying forge new relations with new partners where it works and lessen the dependency on America where possible. America should be the partner of last resort going forward instead of being the default.
