So Cpt. Thistledowns aka the racing sec. is doing this to save money and piss off the big stables who have supported GP for ever.. I am crystal clear..Thx

Oh my. Didn't mean to further confuse. I don't think he's intentionally trying to piss off the stables; it just happens as an extra special bonus.

I'd think the people at Gulfstream who were supported "for years" by the big stables are long gone and have been replaced several times over.

Maybe you're right there are few decent turf horses waiting to run. Makes you wonder what the 30-40 horses who work on the turf every day at Palm Meadows are doing.
