we should all look at the bright side of this, the track had no problem at all holding all the rain that dropped. their handle is not down because of any boycott, its just pretty boring out there, and most people are pretty fed up with the shananagans that go on with administration procedures out there. meanwhile i am told that berube in tampa is jumping for joy so far this year with gains they are making with handles and attendance. tampa maiden special weight purses are $20k and that is for florida breds. the day to day purses are pretty low in tampa, they are selling weather and a great track to train over and improve your horses, along with strong competitive fields that are ususally pretty full. i wonder if the folks in california can copy that plan? by the way, berube don't put up with any crap from anyone, they catch you doing something wrong, you won't get stalls next year. i can't believe all the top outfits in that place that are stabled there. that place is a recipe for success.
