With that said, while I'm not trying to insinuate that I know anything about anything compared to you, what about a track like Fairmount Park or Portland Meadows? Perhaps riders riding for $46000 allowance purses can afford nice cars and their insurance premiums, but how about the guy or girl in Oregon or who rides a win in a third level allowance and pockets $200 for it? They work their asses off out there, but there's no glamour and no money at all. Are they less deserving of insurance than a rider at a major, high stakes track, even though they've made their own personal decision to be a rider?

If you were paying attention, WHICH OBVIOUSLY YOU WEREN'T, the 9% plan covers ALL the riders everywhere. That $20.00 (ONE PERCENT) payment from the guy at Fairmount will buy him EXACTLY the same insurance that Norberto Arroyo paid $400.00 (ONE PERCENT) for by winning the stake at Aqueduct yesterday aboard the outofthe box trainee. It just doesn't get any fairer than that.
Go back a few pages and read.
