SILLY? I THINK NOT. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS AMERICA. HOW MANY TIMES I SAW THAT SO AND SO HAD A POSITIVE TEST AND CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF A RACE AND A BETTOR MAY HAVE LOST A LARGE SUPER HIGH 5 OT A LARGE TRIFECTA. MAYBE THE TRACK LOST MONEY OR WORSE ----CREDIBILITY.EVERYONE NAMED IN THIS CASE COULD BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES IN CIVIL COURT. EVERY ONE. LITIGATION HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN BUSINESS---EVERY DAY. MAYBE HEARSAY TO YOU BUT FACTS TO THE EDUCATED BUSINESS MAN. TODAY LITIGATION IS A WAY TO PROFIT.IT COST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DEFEND A CASE AND EVEN IF YOU WIN YOU LOSE. WOULD YOU SETTLE A CASE THAT IS GOING TO COST YOU $400,000 TO DEFEND FOR $200,000 JUST TO GET RID OF THE LEGAL FEES?? TRUTHFULLY, HAPPENS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE MANY TIMES OVER. MANY CLIENTS ARE ADVISED TO SETTLE AND PAY A HEALTHY SETTLEMENT TO CUT LEGAL FEES AND ELIMINATE THE RISK OF A LOSS.I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE PARTICIPANTS WHO WERE INDICTED COULD IN FACT BE NAMED IN A CIVIL CASE OR A CLASS ACTION CASE AND BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES. THERE ARE MANY "AMBULANCE CHASERS' THAT WOULD TAKE THIS CASE IN ONE MINUTE.I COULD CARE LESS WHAT CLASS OF CASE IT IS . THINK ABOUT A SLIP AND FALL CASE----DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT IT AND SPEND $250,000 IN NEW YORK OR PAY $100,000 TO MAKE IT GO AWAY.THIS IS AMERICA---EVERYONE SUES EVERYONE AND IT IS A WAY OF BUSINESS. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT!!VICTIMS ARE EVERYWHERE INCLUDING THE SPOUSES!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
Just more silly. If what you esouse was so easy & obvious it would have happened many times over for many years by now. Give up with your dramatics on this site & go write a fantasy novel.
I AGREE 100% WITH YOU!! CHANGES TO THIS INDUSTRY HAVE AND ARE OCCURRING VERY QUICKLY. YOU MAY NOT SEE IT BUT IT IS VERY RAPID. SOMETIMES FOLKS ARE BLINDED BY HOPIUM.LOOK AT THE RECENT COMBATIVE COMMENTS FROM ME WILLIAMS AND MR. GURAL ON THE USTA WEBSITE. SEVERAL YEARS BACK THESE FOLKS WERE WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE THE MEADOWLANDS AND NOW---FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE INVOLVED---PRIVATE DECISIONS ON WHO RACES AND WHO DOES NOT---THE DENOUCING PUBLICLY OF THE USTA---DECOUPLING----STATES NOW REDIRECTING HORSE FUNDING TO OTHER PROGRAMS AS IS OCCURRING IN PENNSYLVANIA---EVEN OHIO AND THE DEMISE OF SCIOTA. TRULY, EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS AND BE PREPARED.YEARS AGO, THE USTA MAD DECISIONS ON WHO COULD AND WHO COULD NOT RACE----NOW THE STATE ARE USING THE OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES TO DETERMINE WHO CAN RACE---FURTHER, MR. GURAL NOW OWNS SEVERAL TRACKS (WITH THE HELP OF STATES AND HORSEMAN) BUT DOES IN FACT HAVE THE SOLE AUTHORITY OF EXCLUSION!! YES, MR. GURAL CAN LEGALLY EXCLUDE ANYONE FOR ANY REASON AND LET ANYONE RACE THAT HE CHOSES TO DO SO. THERE IS NO CASE IN ANY COURT THAT WILL CHANGE MR. GURALS RIGHTS IN THAT REGARD.THIS INDUSTRY FAILED MISERABLY WHEN IT HANDED OUT MILLIONS TO CERTAIN STABLES AND FAILED TO REINVEST IN THEIR PRODUCT AND PROTECTING THEIR PRODUCT. EVERYONE HAD THE HAND OUT TO GRAB ALL THAT THEY COULD WITHOUT REALIZING THAT FUNDING AND MANAGMENT WAS REQUIRED IN THE INDUSTRY TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT RACES AND TO EDUCATE AND GROW THE BETTING PUBLIC. WHO RUNS A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ENTITY AND LETS 100% OF THE REVENUE PASS THRU TO END USERS AS THIS INDUSTRY HAS? NO ONE. BUSINESS SCHOOL 101!!!!! FOOLS WERE IN CHARGE AND DIRECTED THE CASH FLOW TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS AND NOW THE INDUSTRY IS IN TROUBLE.WHO IS THE HIGHEST PAID PERSON IN THE NFL? GUESS? THE PLAYERS? THE TEAM OWNERS? OR, THEIR LEADER----MR. GOODELL? THINK ABOUT IT---NO LEADERSHIP ---THE STATE OF RACING IS WANDERING AIMLESSLY THRU TIME WITHOUT LEADERSHIP!!!! THERE IS ZERO LEADERSHIP!!THE VARIOUS STATES AND ASSOCIATIONS DO NOT COORDINATE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER DUE TO LACK OF LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP---WE HAVE MANY SMALL GROUPS WITHOUT AUTHORITY OR CLOUT!! JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE SPORT!!!THE INDUSTRY IS SO CHANGED OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS. THE COUNTRY HAS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS THAT WILL NOT LET CATTLE, SHEEP AND CHICKENS TO BE PROCESSED LET ALONE HORSE BEING ABUSED BY CERTAIN GROUPS USING ILLEGAL DRUGS!!! THE POLITICAL FORCES NOW HAVE SUPPORT TO DECOUPLE THE INDUSTRY AND REDIRECT THE REVENUE TO OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS!!!!I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME UNDERSTAND THE MAJOR ISSUE THAT ALL OF RACING FACES!! I can write a bookON WHAT HAS HAPPENED V WHAT SHOULD OF HAPPENED BUT WE ALL KNOW HISTORY IS HISTORY AND WE CANNOT CHANGE IT!!! WE CAN ONLY INFLUENCE THE FUTURE AND QUITE FRANKLY WE ARE NOW IN THE 10TH ROUND OF A HEAVY WEIGHT FIGHT AND WE HAVE NOW LOST THE FIRST 10 ROUNDS AND TRUTHFULLY, ONLY A KNOCKOUT CAN SAVE THE SPORT AS WE KNOW IT AND WHO WILL DELIVER THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH THAT IS REQUIRED FROM SUCH A FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY WITHOUT LEADERSHIP???
QUESTION, IN YOUR OPINION SHOULD THESE FOLKS BE PERMITTED TO RACE ? IN ESSENCE THEY DID EXACTLY THE SAME AS OTHERS WHO ARE GOING TO BE INCARCERATED---BUT, THEY WERE NOT PROSECUTED DUE TO THEIR COOPERATION. TRUTHFULLY, THERE IS NO RIGHT AND NO WRONG. JUST OPINION.
It's sucks to be him but I heard there are actually some parts of being in prison.
SURVIVAL IS A MECHANISN THAT ALLOWS FOR DENIAL!!!! SO MANY ARE I COMPLETE DENIAL AS THE WORLD CHANGES. WHERE WAS AMAZON TEN YEARS AGO? WHAT ABOUT BITCOIN AT .06 CENTS /UNIT IN 2012!! WHAT AOUT ELECTRIC CARS ---NOW GM EVEN SAY IT WILL BE 100% ELECTRIC BEFORE 2035!! TESLA FORCED OTHERS TO CHANGE. LOOK AT THE NORTH POLE. WHERE DO THE POLAR BEARS FEED? CHANGE, YOUNG MAN. IF YOU DO NOT SEE IT YOU ARE BLIND.HARNESS RACING MAY SURVIVE BUT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AS IT WAS WITH STANLEY DANCER, BILLY HAUGHTON AND DELVIN MILLER!!! WHAT ABOUT THE CROWDS? THE HUGE RACES --THE JUG RACES AND CROWDS!! LEXINGTON!!! 25,000 FOALS PER YEAR VS. 5,000! DOES ANYONE THINK THAT SO MANY WOULD BE INDICTED AND SENT TO PRISON FOR DOPING? THIS IS FAR FROM OVER. NOT EVER CLOSE.MR. WILLIAMS AND MR. GURAL SLUGGING OUT AT EACH OTHER!!! BITCOIN AT $60,000!!! SIT DOWN AND BE STUBBORN AND STATE THERE IS NOT CLIMATE CHANGE -----JUST LIKE YOU SAY THE SPORT WILL BE AROUND LONG AFTER I AM GONE!!! TRUTHFULLY, THE DINOSAURS SAID THE SAME THING!!I FIND MYSELF RUNNING AWAY EVERY NIGHT FROM THE PREHISTORIC ANIMALS HERE IN CALIFORNIA IN THE LA BREA TAR PITS!!!NO ONE CAN STOP CHANGE!! NO ONE!! THE WORLD HAS CHANGED FASTER AND MORE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS THAN IN THE LAST 100!!!!
