News Flash:reduced Takeout=Handle growth By John Pricci
Excerpt:

ELMONT, NY, September 17, 2010--The work of the Horseplayers Association of North America apparently is beginning to gain traction.

For the uninitiated, H.A.N.A. is a grass roots, non-profit organization made up of a consortium of horseplayers, possibly the most abused customers of any kind on the planet.

The reason H.A.N.A. exists is to unite horseplayers into a large enough group so that they might speak with one voice to affect positive change.

Horseplayers--without whom there wold be no parimutuel racing- would at least like to be included in any conversations between the track management and horsemen's groups, he players that decide their fate.

Not necessarily included directly--although that would be welcome--but at least in spirit so their concerns will be considered.

The industry is learning the hard way that building it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will come.

Either HANA or Pricci needs a copy editor.

I think HANA is on the side of the angels, but I also noticed the editing problem on the fliers on the table downstairs at the Racing Museum in Saratoga. HANA needs to be much more careful about these things if they hope to be taken seriously.
