There is no worse track than Gulfstream.
Crappy track, haven't been able to time races for 20 years, and now this big Franky posture. Franky is he worst thing that ever happened to horse racing.
I would not bet a Straw-neck track with your money - ever. Boycott this POS.

Salix is a diuretic, same kind of drug as Lasix, while Lasix is a branded product.

One the one hand it seems odd that a "Winter" track is running in the summer but it is even odder to see GP running almost all year. To me it makes it less special.
Even Del Mar is getting a little played out with the added meet. Not quite as special.
GP is a bully though, put Hialeah out of business, then Calder, now this.

Under Florida law this summer meet will enable TBD to be classified as a full time simulcast track and keep more of their simulcast money,which explains the pissy Gulfstream reaction.

Simulcast laws are pretty silly---two days and they're suddenly a year-round track. Frank's reaction is no shock though. The next classy thing he does will be the first.

I'm mystified by a lot of what I read, so bear with me, but there are a number of things in this thread that I thought were worth mentioning...
...I guess "Frank" is sort of like "NYRA" now, in that when people don't like something that happens at a Stronach track, much like NYRA being to blame for everything, whether true or not, Frank Stronach is to blame....as though he is making all the decisions, from top to bottom, for the Stronach Group. This seems unlikely to me, but OK.
However, I am just wondering, which one of you would allow horses stabled at a track you ran ( or owned, since you seem to think Frank Stronach made this call ) to ship to a competitor's track ( especially on days you are racing ) without at least getting permission?
Calling out Gulfstream for the timing issues seems more than fair. Calling them out for this, whomever made this decision, defies logic. Frankly ( to invoke his name once again ), if the person responsible for running Gulfstream did NOT do this, he would NOT be doing his job.

Gulfstream is running over the summer to put Monmouth Park out of business.
Part of the long term plan for Laurel.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying there is anything wrong with this at all. The thing that caught my eye most was the "whopping" fine for not reporting new geldings.

How is this any different than when Calder ran over the summer?

The warning clearly states

'ANYONE RUNNING @TAMPA ON JUNE 30 & JULY 1 WILL NOT BE ALLOWED BACK ON THE GROUNDS!!!'

It looks to me that if you ship a horse from anywhere to run at the Tampa Summer Meet, that you and your horses will be banned from Gulfstream.
