I'm never betting there again.

That really stinks! I really get a kick out of Rick Hammerle. Especially when he is interviewed by Steve Byk.

I'm curious why Ritvo is so hellbent on firing people? Is he expecting Mirahmadi to do his work too? Just ridiculous.

Santa Anita is the Crown Jewel of the Stronach Group, not Gulfstream as many think, unfortunately it has been underperforming according to projections, with Ritvo taking action by starting with an employee overhaul....Ritvo has no choice or HE'S the next to go.

This was a forgone conclusion. He has to make room for a turf course wide enough to make the start of every turf race to close to the first turn and therefore, not be able to time races correctly.

Ritvo using a sickle?

Frank Stronach - good for racing.



SA has always been a koke of a track.
I'm STILL boycotting it from years ago. I would rather not play than have to bet a Straw-neck track.

Hammer was just saying yesterday he was writing the first condition book this weekend.

Maybe the problem isn't the employees, maybe it is the idiot Ritvo.
And of course Frankeeeeee.

Insightful point. Ritvo just bought another three years for himself.
