AE,
Granted I'm speaking as an outsider, an Easterner not very knowledgeable with how things work in California.
Sure it's Business 101 in capitalistic America. I'm not naive.
But, let me ask this?
Why does everyone think Stronach is such a fan of Thoroughbred racing, when really all he's interested in as a businessman is eliminating competition?
Why do people think he's good for the sport?
His vision of the sport is entirely about himself controlling a good portion of it.
I'm no fan of Bay Meadows closing, Hollywood Park closing, Calder selling out to Stronach and only racing for one month to give GP a break, Pimlico down to a few weeks with it's future existence in question.
There's a recurring pattern evident, and Stronach is why IMO.
