hell, they're like the irish! they have no one to fight, so they fight each other...and then wonder why the outcome isn't helpful to their long-term survival.

This was the big beef I had with the drama in Florida. The 'every track is an island' philosophy, out to eat or be eaten in some cases, willfully self-involved in others. If they actually cared about the sport, they would be trying to support one another, but their priorities involve focusing inward. That kinda of behavior actually hurts them in the long run, but do they see it? Nope. Could handle race scheduling better so that the horse pool is used more efficiently, but they won't.
