SAD SAD DAY

CRC announced today on their site they will not be taking wagers on the Ky.Derby or the Ky.Oaks due to the dispute by the Kentucky Horsemen and the Florida Horsemen and God knows who else.

None of us where there for the begining of Horse Racing, but there is a huge crowd at the burial.

party up derby down

i want to bet churchull downs but my site with the twin steeple looking things doesn't allow me to bet the track that they base their name from. I guess the only sure bet is to short CHDN this year.

Is Trotters' Wife running TwinSpires?

Welcome back Al Capone

to all the Adw's/horsemen/Ass backwards execs (Ian and Ptc notable exception). Like CJ posted elsewhere let them all figure out how to divvy up NOTHING when we take our wager dollars offshore. I'll add bookies to the mix

I just posted this under the Ky Derby Boycott thread. Then I came to read your thread. You said it, for this old handicapper.I will be boycotting The Triple Crown series. The first time ever, I will not have a bet down. Just for the record, I want to play my longshot pick Visionaire. I may have to do it with my local bookie, but I can't get track odds. (10-1 maximum payout)

Can anyone suggest a good offshore with Track odds. Especially one which will allow me to set the account up today and bet tomorrow.

No Derby at the Palm Beach Kennel Club Either

I was thinking of taking my son up there for the day since we don't carry CD, but I guess there's no point if PBKC didn't get horsmen's approval.

Sitting here waiting to go to late CRC today and thinking, I have had a pretty nice thing going for the past 25 years or so. Pool in the morning, either CRC/GP in the afternoon and doing tomorrow's races in the evening.

With whats going on in the racing industry today it's depressing.

For about the 3rd time in five years, we agree.

I won't go so far as saying that I've had enough of this BS & will walk away from horses permantly, but now I can't even change ADWs to get the tracks that others don't offer.

They have this so screwed up, I say off-shore or no bets ever again, as far as I am concerned. I don't care which party are the greedy bastards in this case, I am going to be the greedy bastard from now on and either I win or loose with someone besides the tracks and the horsemen or I give up the game.

Now with the internet,the ability to not only screw the local patrons but everyone is easier than any track owner ever imagined.

Someone wake the owners up and show them what the game could be.
