I'd like to see Delaware Park change its claiming rules so that you don't have to be a "new*" owner, or stabled on the grounds, or have started in a race before you are eligible to claim. Gill is pretty much out of the claiming game so change the damned rule!!
(* "New" owner is defined as a person who has not held a license in any jurisdiction in the past 365 days. )
I'd also like to see MD change their jockey "workman's comp" funding policy so that each and every licensed owner doesn't have to pay $250 when obtaining a license. Instead, I would like to see MD charge an owner each time he/she races. If I only run 1 time in MD, I pay $250. If I run 1000 times, I pay $250. Why not charge a fee, much like a gate fee, each time a horse races to fund the policy?
