"If you are in this business for personal gain or for ego with no comprehension of the magnificent, incredible nature of these animals, I don't think you should be in this business,"
This is a quote from Maggi Moss I found on the Internet. It sums up my view. This game is about the Horses and the love affair that all the people (with the exception of the suits) have
Lets Start at the bottom level, Grooms, Hot walkers exercise riders. Work unbelievabe hours for average money Why.they love the animals and the game. They would do it for free if someone fed and housed them which is pretty close to their situation.
Jockeys ,agents, only a select view make any money. Calvin Borel said he would do it for free. He loves the Animals
Trainers. Very few make any money,Most love the animals and the game.
Owners. 95% lose money.; They are major participants here. They love the magic of the animals and the game. Most would say its the toughest business in existence. Billions have been lost by very smart people who still wouldnt trade their win pictures.
Betters 95% lose money: I have found most handicappers to be very intelligent and consider this the maxium mental challange in the world. Its the ultimate puzzle so to speak.
The Horse business is full of some of the greatest people in the world from all walks of life.
So here you have a business FUELED by people in love with a magnificent animal who could care less about making money. There is no other business IN EXISTENCE that has these exact parameters and thats why you cant take MBA speadsheets and manage it. Its way way too complex and based in emotion. Bob Evans doesnt know this. He isnt enough of a people person and not smart enough to assimilate whats going on around him at all these different levels and motivations.
So Why would a Divisive personality like Bob Evans and his CPA techies have the right to declare that they have a mandate to make this game wildly profitable. Who gave them that mandate! What if Churchill Broke Even. Would all the people mentioned above be happy. You bet they would. THis is a self proclaimed mandate for he and his cronies own personal financial gain. He will resign under pressure and in disgrace after he totally f***ks things up. He is created more bad will in a short time than almost any CEO Ive seen . Imagine a COWARD who wont take any questions at a shareholder meeting. Bookmark this thread
and see if my 40 years in every aspect of this game count versus his 15 minutes of fame.
