Hey the way the world is set up, someone wins and someone loses. Might as well be on the winners side.

Someone wins, Someone loses and Someone collects the vig regardless. That's the job you want.

Well, I guess you took this personally, but I don't need any welfare. I can play that game too. Win more than a race a month and you might not either.

Seriously though, the product sucks right now and these purse enhancements do nothing to make it better. Nobody is betting much, check all the handle stats. I guess you guys can go the steeplechase route eventually.

LOL. So its ok for you to always take shots at horseman but when I make a little dig at you you want to get personal? Get a grip.
Do you really think I care that much about what you think or say?

If the product sucks and the sport is finished then why don't you find something else to spend your time on? Think everything will be great when your grand vision of only a few track surviving comes true? The purse enhancements may not drive handle but it does help keep owners in business. Not to mention that horseman are getting roughly 10% of the revenue. The tracks are the ones who clean up.

You clearly made it personal first, but that is fine.

I don't claim to have all the answers. I know for sure what we are doing now isn't working, and slots are a band aid that won't last forever. Anybody that thinks they will is living in dream land.
