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?

 "Everybody has their cups but they ain't chipped in"
Best time of year watch the young horses racing for great money. Nothing better than following the horses, going to wherever their next stake is, with family.
