yes, but all they do is get the maximum purse money and let the place fall down! 
FYI, the t-breds rent a handful of stalls at the raceway for that meet and they must make a good buck on that too!

Maybe some body can do something to pull the horseman together.

Problem with that is very few "horseman associations" are for the horseman. They want the dues and when you have a issue it's like "Go away! Don't bother us"! Most of the saw called Board is under the racetracks management anyway.

  • Sweet: The fact of the matter is the win pool on Beau Jangles was I believe a negative pool,  his real odds not 1/9 but 1/99.  Enough already, we're the real patrons of thius F'ing sport, many of us also care for these animals despite the best don't want drugs and whipping, abuse.  Competition yes!
