Tracks will need to close. Trainers will walk away from their owners. Owners will walk away from their trainers. Horses will suffer. Horseplayers will walk away period. It's called REALITY!<BR/>Meanwhile some study sanctioned by some racing-related group will announce that a new marketing plan is needed to increase interest in the sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-80639209643587587682008-10-13T19:34:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:34:00.000-04:00Well Anon 7.29 you are as wrong as you every will...Well Anon 7.29 you are as wrong as you every will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-17981051673448942222008-10-13T19:29:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:29:00.000-04:00anon. 11:30amI thought Avelino Gomez was Canada's ...anon. 11:30am<BR/>I thought Avelino Gomez was Canada's greatest.???<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-57284544153260627282008-10-13T11:30:00.000-04:002008-10-13T11:30:00.000-04:00Sandy Hawley Canadas greatest rider has to be one ...Sandy Hawley Canadas greatest rider has to be one of the worst on air handicappers around,he picks horses off paper and they come on to the track sweating and nervous and he still picks them ,is he for real?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-23276751530399901252008-10-13T11:28:00.000-04:002008-10-13T11:28:00.000-04:00Any one catch the interview with Chantel Sutherlan...Any one catch the interview with Chantel Sutherland on sun tv on saturday, lol she couldnt put a sentence together,i didnot know that about her.well shes a great rider,she should just say thank you for the mount .She sounded like a bubble headed beach girl lmao.At least Elmer J wilson knows her horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
