unfortunately--Hensley, who is a pompous ass

Lockhardt milked his huge salary for years and did very little

Hensley is now Executive Director of DSOA

That title doesn't mean shit. What exactly is his duties as "Executive Director"? Other than collecting insurance payments and kissing Bally's management team's ass. And I'm sure it's a FAT salary to go with it!

Just shows you how corrupt the racing program is in Delaware. You have a guy who was Director of racing for Dover Downs Managment and now He gets the boot by Bally's so the DSOA elects him to represent the horseman now! I mean you can't make this shit up! Did the DSOA members have a vote in this? And please justify how this is a $186K salary job? Who's paying his salary?

And this quote of DSOA site: "And look forward to continuing to provide the exceptional  level of service the Board, the membership, and the horsemen and women  of Delaware are accustomed to under his direction.” 

Well yeah if you didn't you were denied entries!

Must have a family member on the board or commission. Was a Charlie brown noser and did his dirty work for years! Who was a Cloverleaf Director and turned Dover Downs racing official!
Unbelievable!

We're doomed and DSOA is fast tracking it!

That seems to be top secret information that is unavailable on the web as to who is in charge of the horse racing aspect.

Be nice to know if Dover will step up and follow Gural on his denied entry list. Dover has a few trainers on that list as well as Frank Chick.

But we both know they won't!

No shot!  Delaware isn't to the level of PA or Yonkers, but they won't do anything about this!

Horsemen in Delaware have a great program. They have year-round racing between Dover and Harrington and have an amazing bonus program for Delaware residents ( ranges from 20-40% ) and the are very selective about who is even allowed to race there. They protect their own as well as any other state.

So what's the bitching.  I see 15 taces a day, 4 days a week with many 9-horse fields.  from cheap horses to top-class horses. Even the big-name drivers go down there on Thursdays.
