Been a huge fan since the early 70s and for the first time I added FL to my no bet list.
THIS IS NOT AN ACCUSATION BUT A PERCEPTION
I am simply not comfortable when there families that take part in so many races.
In any given race you can and often do have three Engleharts Chris, Jeremiah and Jeffrey with horses in a race. And on top of that you have them often having uncoupled entries. Add the Ferraros in and it is truly a family affair.
And all five of these guys can train better than most of the rest there. plus they get discards from some top NYRA owners. Very hard to get a price and then when you get sucked in to bet a NYRA shipper at short odds, it will only have three legs and finish last.. This was an awful year for me at FL and I hung up the reins about a month ago. Stopped even looking.
