How the hell we gunna "enjoy it" if we can't bet it? Every time they open a meet somewhere they got this stupidity.Who do they expect to pay these purses? There's already too much take-out,and the horsemen want 7%? It's outrageous.The total take-out should be about 10% including horsemen,state,and track(all together,) and the horsemen alone want 7%? We should just bet sports,and to hell with them.Have a few less stakes,and increase the purses of the lesser horse races by that method.Steve,we pay way too much take out as it is.We shouldn't be paying a penny over 10%,and these people want 7% just for themselves? They don't deserve my support,and they don't have it.It's too much.This is the major problem with racing.You aren't gunna get a lot of new players,because there just aren't enough stupid people willing to simply piss away 17-30% of what they bet.It's way too much.They've already done irreversible harm to their image.They come off this week looking like greedy pigs.They shouldn't be getting purse money..Why are they getting purse money if they aren't allowing the money to come in to help pay the purses?They should have stopped running races if they aren't gunna allow the track to get money to pay purses,or pay them just the purse money that can be paid from on-site betting at Churchill.Real easy to do this when they keep getting purse money.CUT THE PURSE MONEY OFF IF THEY WON'T ALLOW BETTING ON-LINE.THEY ARE BASICALLY ON STRIKE WHILE GETTING PAID FULL SALARY....REAL BRAVE.They better get this done in the next 6-8 hours.The horsemen aren't gunna be forgiven if they don't allow people to bet these 2 days.To take purse money without allowing the money to be made to pay for the purse money? Real Cute...real cute.
