Turf Paradise - THIS is a track that should be shutdown

Not specifically germane to breakdowns. And you wont see PETA involved here because SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE (Edward G's last movie tho I think Chuck Heston uttered the line).

I remember reading that track management cancelled the last race back on March 26th due to a jock being thrown in the previous race and therefore an ambulance wasn't available to monitor the final race. Well according to this article in the local fishwrap it was the jocks who decided not to ride the last race because there is NO AMBULANCE available during the races. There are paramedics in an SUV but no stretcher for transport where necessitated. They have to call the local FD and it took approx 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.

This is just incredulous - how can this guy run a plant (think he also has another job as a City Manager somewhere - gawd help that city):

'The lack of an ambulance is viewed by some horsemen as a cost-cutting measure. Arizona's Administrative Code says racing licensees "shall provide" an ambulance at each track for morning workouts and races.

[GM]Francia said he was not aware of the provision.'


Just crazy stuff from a buncha klowns there.
