the call to close up racing is now in gear. the basic problem in this game is that large trainers and owners are running the sport, the inmates running the asylum.
owners, trainers, vets, and race track owners and employees tend to be very greedy people. what this game needs all over for starters is limits on the number of stalls that trainers have on a racetrack, and limits on numbers of horses that one owner can race in a race track at one particular meet.
my guess is that 26 stalls is more than enough for one trainer, and 5 horses is more than enough for one owner at a racetrack. this would be a very drastic change in the sport. right here and right now this can be done without shortages of entries in places like NEW YORK, and GULFSTREAM. in florida the state government has cut back the taxes and gave the revenue back to the track and have increased purses, they can actually increase more if they want to now.
i agree with GRITS comments 110%
