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.

This is 110% on the mark.

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.

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.

  • Albatross77: I saw Bukowski puking by the toilet. I asked about his gibberish posts. Buk slurred something about Zack shitting in his litter box and eating his sardines. And then he passed out again.I guess that was the whole kerfuffle.

  • Albatross77: My cat, Charles Bukowski, wrote it. You will have to ask him but he’s passed out from a three-day bender. I think he’s off his meds too.
