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?

  • Trigger: MAGA lesson #3, President Trump will decide what "rights" we have.  Say, do, be anything against him and there very will might be up to and including severe consequences.  President Trump is not under the authority of the legislative or judicial anymore.  He is invulnerable.

  • Trigger: MAGA lesson #2, prepare for the Insurrection Act to be invoked.  Wear your cap, apparrel, "Red" colors.  I.e. Chicago, someone cuts the line at your fav deep dish pizza joint, tell a soldier.  Casualty of war!

  • Trigger: MAGA lesson #1 to avoid arguing with whatever you call them, let's say Dumbocraps, Trump's OPINIONS are FACTS and his actions are always LAWFUL! {No need to think or argue ever again :) }

  • dougie: You're doing a good job Trigger. I don't agree with alot of what you say, but that's ok. Everyone's got an opinion!

  • Trigger: MAGA is getting me free of charge, they're in for a penny, nope, I'm pushing them for a full MAGA pound.  OAN is the new US state media, no one who did not sign DOD policy is worthy quotable here.
