Doesnt matter that much in the grand scheme if you dont race in Ohio but as a horseman it is scary to see the state take a more active role in doling your money out, especially in this case when the likelihood is that all of that 150k will go to out of state horseman and owners.
yup... Pletcher will probably show up with Join in the Dance, Al Khali, and a bunch of his other 3rd stringers and take it down.

Ohio racing is like the Moon... we know it's there, and one time humans actually reached out to get there, but really we don't care about it much.
