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?
