It may not be great for betting. The pools are tiny. It is however one of the best places to go to for a fun and relaxing getaway. If you've never been go!

Instead of the Exacta paying BAD, did you ever think  maybe the WIN price was  BAD?

Maybe the EX is nuts on and the horse should have paid $15, not $43.

Exacta Pool was less than dinner at Burger King.

Harness Racing doesn't put a penny into marketing then cries there are no fans.

Next time someone complains they deserve a smack.

Your getting free casino money.  Now if the casinos close everyone will go insano?

Open a dollar store with me and see if people come if you don't advertise?  Harness Racing run

by USTA . United States True Azzholes.  If racing closes McDonalds wouldn't give them a job!!!!

seriously

Prices, yes, but why aren't their prices?  Answer....the participants. 

The only way to make the hobby more marketable is encourage new and improved participation.   Or we could just utilize the same 13 gene pools for the next decade and watch it disappear.
