As a father of three who qualified for the DRf National Championship 5 years ago, the time I need to devote to information gathering and the cost associated with it just became to much. That and the drugs in the sport made it difficult for me to explain to my children who I would preach to just say no and do the right thing in their daily lives, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484410456100254393.post-8623103275703645112009-03-25T18:33:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:33:00.000-04:00I thought they would have had a strategy for this ...I thought they would have had a strategy for this by now but I guess not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484410456100254393.post-37766985656811953412009-03-24T13:54:00.000-04:002009-03-24T13:54:00.000-04:00I like the HANA ratings and things that we are doi...I like the HANA ratings and things that we are doing,but you people have to get on this. There is probably not an issue in racing that almost every horseplayer agrees with other than takeout, and that is a tough thing to change. Get your asses moving. Change racing for the better.

It is great to see that track executive say what horseplayers have been saying for ages. I shudder to think how much more I would bet, and make money for purses, if I had better access at a market driven rate. I certainly know it would more than pay for itself in terms of my personal wagering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484410456100254393.post-50601645888069147722009-03-24T11:41:00.000-04:002009-03-24T11:41:00.000-04:00I asked this question of racing about ten years ag...I asked this question of racing about ten years ago. Mainly, when are you going to change with the times? The internet was right there and there was a huge opp to use it to distribute our sport to a whole new market (and an existing one) in a really cool way. The potential was endless.<BR/><BR/>I was told they couldn't. Whenever we ask a question like this we always seem to hear "we can't", Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
