because he will be so happy

This is a VERY BIG DEAL for the Illinois people, as far as purses TO THE MOON!!

I really can't believe that happened..holy crap. What incredibly good news

congrats horseman

Thank you :)

By my calculations, that is an extra 21 million into the purses EACH YEAR. and they are separating based on total handle, which Arlington smokes all the other garbage

They are saying it could DOUBLE purses, that would mean maidens would be running for 56k, HELLO BETSY

nica please

huh?

as soon as you start training and owning you can shout!~!!!

hey...fans should be shouting too, handicappers, beer vendors, the parking dudes...Everyone

just hope it doesn't get re-appealed, yada, yada, yada

true bob thats great news...

and don't you think Mr Calabrese is smiling right now, especially if they disperse the money retroactively :eek:

Time to buy some IL breds...wonder what's in the June OBS sale?...

You can always find a nice Cartwright or two there.

This really does have a crazy effect, the Illinois program should get a huge boost from the breeding perspective, just off that.

Not anymore, he is no longer with us, his last yearlings olds hit the sales ring last year I think

No Illinois Breds in that June OBS sale

:) :)

Nine of the 2008 top 10 sires of IL-bred are dead or pensioned. Friendly Lover should be seeing some serious action.

People just go to KY now and breed there, and drop here....

Chris Block gets some good race mares, breeds them in KY to decent stallions, and then drops them in Illinois.

I would have thought that Fort Prado would be standing in Illinois but I guess not.....
