So you are against ending the carriage horse industry?
First off, a lot these horses could be repurposed for mounted police duty.
Newark, NJ has a large group of officers who patrol on saddle horses, and I'm sure there are other cities that do too.

A lot of the larger cities have Mounted Patrols. NYC has about 50 horses assigned to that division.

Top trainer Mark Ford ( ) has two in tonight at Bonkers. Let's hope he wins at least one. 

Where will the horses go then?  Will the city find them homes?  I’m in favor of stopping the carriage rides, but that has to be a question as to what’s next for the horses.

Looks chalky.  And I stopped betting elims a long time ago.  In my opinion, elims should be non wagering events as it’s clear not all horses are trying to win.  They are just making sure they are making it to the finals without getting gutted.  Unless you are Beau Jangles driver.   

The races with 10 horses didn't have an elimination or a couple horses got a bye
Not sure about Bartlett. He didn't do shit last weekend
Big Ranger will win, take it to the bank
Blue Ranger, I would say 50/50. Two Day Hangover and Dandelion Wine are the main competition IMHO. Not sure if its ever happened before
