I believe cheaters had a lot to do with killing the sport. It leads to way to much chalk and boring races. The Meadowlands empty out many bettors got tired of the cheaters. Yonkers was no different. I had a group of friends that sat in the restaurant. They were small time owners and big bettors. The cheaters ran them out and made them sour.
No one wants to spend hours handicapping to have the cheats blow you away. Horse gamblers want to cash big tickets.
I also had many friends that switch to the runners or poker.
Fast forward to today and yes it is on life support. There are not many fans or bettors left. A few big barns do very well. The majority struggle to stay afloat. I listened to  LUCPARK's story. He has money, used big trainers, and lost much money.

Of course the cheaters killed the sport, they're talking about the level that it is at now.  Even with the welfare and being gambler not influenced (as much or at all).

Stop the drugs, cheating and hand out to celebrities (that are racing fans too) $50,000,000 in horse ownerships and endorsement money to show up.  Throw big events at the track on race days and off.  Throw another $50,000,000 in guaranteed pools.

Better get the collection cup out from everyone who makes money off racing i.e. the breeders, the entire supply chain of goods and services, the tracks...!

Or take the money and run, like now, lack integrity, crimes, animal abuse, make the gamblers and honest participants continue to look like fools...until the gravy train would stop.

I enjoyed your interview on there.

#3 Crupper 30-1 ml & #6 Chip Honcho 5-1 ml & 10 Napoleon Solo (Paco) 8-1 ml.

That's the fastest ever I studied a TC race.

Saw the Brisnet PP, ran through them, under 10 minutes, including some replays!

For me it's a 3 horse race.

I think they just need to let Napoleon Solo be himself and Paco will this time.

So be it, NS will bottom out the field and the 3 (Junior), 6 (Jose Ortiz) who are fresh as can be, will come a calling.

Some of those derby horses had it rough and my hats are off to them and their connections for even finishing that race, muchless showing durability, some, great talent with the weight and distance.

I think I'm going to hit this superfecta!

Tajh is really fast

Lots of speed in race

Incredbolt my pic

1000 to win

I had Incredibolt on all of my horizontals in the derby.. he was coming on in the stretch and got squeezed and finished 6th if memory serves. My only concern with him is having only the 2 weeks off against fresh runners.I haven't looked closely enough yet to make my selections. Probably should learn my lesson from the derby and regardless tri and super box the Ortiz brothers, Prat, Gafflione and Saez.. maybe throw in Jr or Johnny V.
