FL horsemen:"Screw everyone else. We got ours"

Once constant thought the history of Finger Lakes has been the total greed of the local horsemen. they have always been there to be roadblocks to anything that did not fill their own pockets first. When simulcasting first came about, it was the horsemen who blocked our access to it.

Now,as the curtain is ready to fall on the thumb, they want to screw everyone else by halting simulcasting for the fans, the employees. The track wants to cut racing back from 155 to 100 days, a smart decision considering the short field and days cancelled this year and previous years because the local yokels could not muster enough horses to fill a card. They would love to see three horse fields! That is about all that show up now fit to race.

One thing I will not miss then the track is gone is the greedy SOBs who are the local horsemen.

All horsemen are greedy. SoCal or mid-Atlantic are no different.

Finger Lakes is done. Once the casino down the street got approved it was game over.

The horsemen are just trying to make a murder look like a suicide. Go out on their terms.

Notice none of them said crap when the place was bleeding handle from five $3 horses a day. They cashed their short field purse checks and didn't say a word.

Amazing how they're pulling simo signal due to some outside force that has nothing to do with the horseplayers who come in there every day to bet on racing. Incredible that the trigger finger response is 'I know, let's screw the customer'

Most of them will be bagging groceries this summer, after the track closes and they find out just how unessential to the real world they are.

I don't think there are that many grocery stores in the immediate area for all of us. Oh well, my doctor has been asking me to lose weight for quite some time.

How about you kill a few birds with one stone and sweat it off in the Phoenix sun in the near future.
