Friday's card is unreal.

3 races with 5 horses
3 races with 6 horses
2 races with 10 horses

And this is before scratches.

Owners dont want to run for purses that aren't slots fueled. If i was a t bred owner, i'd be running at a slots track.

But, that's just me i guess.

Offer $65k MSW's like Woodbine does and owners and trainers would race their horses on chocolate pudding. It's all about the cash.

I was wondering why the card isn't up anywhere yet. Maybe it is just a strike against Lava Man returning.

The card is up. Three 5 horse fields and three 6 horse fields before scratches. What an ugly Saturday card. I wonder if they'll still charge admission!

Yes, 8 dollars for admission but there's a giveaway! All the second hand marijuana smoke you can inhale for free! Like an all you can eat buffet!

Running on chocolate pudding would be safer than Hollywood's surface of late...
