I would love to see Orb accomplish the TC because of the connections. It would be great for PR and racing's image.
I'm not sure it would drastically help the breeding industry. Perhaps somewhat. But, unfortunately, too many "fat cats" don't want glory or fame. For them it's all about money. It's different for those who race and breed as they are interested in longevity.Those who race but are not interested in breeding just want the $ and are only interested in the short term.

ev. I know reddam. not close but he is very close with a close friend of mine. he isn't about the money even. he is ALL about the publicity and stardom. he is a and always has been when it comes to spending his money at sales and private purcheses. he had lost so much money before last years derby winner that it would take 3 or 4 of them to get him even, after syndicating them. fortunately for him he sold ditech funding about 12-15 yrs. ago for like 500 million dollars so it doesn't matter. now he has cashcall still I believe and is raping people there at some astronomical interest rate, so money is not an issue. he is just a conceited, big headed p***k.

shoot, couldn't agree more. we definitely need something to change. sure there is fierce competition for the gambling dollars but if you are not getting any traffic at the racetracks, the industry is not going to cultivate new fans and eventually bettors out there. Once you get them in qhwizards is right, you have to keep them happy whether they are $2 or $20,000 bettors. It is simple business 101. NO TRAFFIC, NO BUSINESS. how many here were introduced to this great industry by someone bringing you to the OTB or reading about it in the newspaper or watching TV. The racetrack is where the great vast majority got their bug. evelyn - there are those who will always go for the quick buck, but I never thought that the phipps/janneys/shug would ever win the KD either. Just need to keep your fingers and toes crossed  qh - really? somebody should tell him that he would have all the publicity and stardom and a lot more for a LIFETIME if he owned a TC winner. |
