Down, down, down
« on: January 23, 2025, 08:26:39 AM »
Handle down, purses down, race dates down.  Starting year 3 of 5-10% declines, without adjustments for inflation.

Is there anything heading up, up, up, except for costs?

This trend can not continue indefinitely.

Need some superstar horses or drives, or maybe some more celebrity owners would help.  Maybe Elon is interested in harness racing?

It doesn't hold weight when you are only doing something out of spite, after being kicked out & having nowhere to go.

 Just being a phony with a grudge (& no job), didn't seem to care for years.
 Let go from the hate, free yourself.

  • Trigger: Sakit comes to this forum and has lied dozens of times, could point to the posts and how they conflict with other things he said.  Runs away anytime you say prove it with the unsubstantiated. Yet he talks to fatso and wierdo all the time!   ngc3

  • Trigger: Please understand, we don't care if you understand.  Many of us from different sectors within racing have had enough.  On a good day, we're smart, resourceful and capitalized.  On the worst day of your life you'll realize we care nothing about consequences if like you we're even to face.
