(i.e. - shipping to Canada to win a graded stakes...)
Please don't spread the word about Canadian Racing. As one who struggles with Florida racing we have been bringing afew horses to Ontario for a number of years.
Our MSW run for $60 000 to $66 000. I believe Saratoga is about $47 000. Our $60 000 Cl runs for $73 500. $100 000 Cl at Saratoga is $61 000.
Changing racing venues make the Ontario tracks even better value.
By the way I can bet American money and Canadian and on occasions don't have to be concerned with IRS.
If some have to run for cheaper shipping to Fort Erie is easy and it's kind of nice to know that a $5000 Cl runs for more money than one at Mountaineer. Don't even want to think about what we would get at Calder!!!
So CR and afew others, who seem to imply that Canadian racing may not have the same quality horses, may ruin a good thing for afew of us who don't think sending them to Canada is such a cold deal
