the days where people would get hung out to dry. them screaming all the way around the track and then fighting in the paddock are long gone. racing is super soft. if you have a favirote you are entitled to the lead. or a easy hole. they are all buddy buddy now. no one is claiming horses and fighting in the spit box. just a bunch of pussies.
Once catch drivers took over the game, it all changed.
Each track has its own club (Yonkers being the most closed) that takes care of each other. Where does that leave the small owner , and the bettor?
