damn right her campaign was mapped out to WIN, not to compete. no matter how much you want it to be otherwise, it is a business, plain and simple. and that business is winning races.
sorry if you wanted to see her up against males as a five year old. winning races is more important than the industry-wide standard of excellence: being sporting in the eyes of pgardn.
any smart owner on earth would agree, this business is about winning races, not about making people happy. ****, i don't even own horses and i can understand that.
boo hoo dude.

You made my point exactly. The reason this sport is not near as popular as it once was is this short-sighted pea-brained attitude. This is why slots have been put into supplement purses. This is why tracks get into trouble. The game is not as enteraining like it once was. Of course owners try to win races. But what if the races provided challenges that pit good horses against each other. No entertainment. This is an entertainment industry going down the tubes.
Its good you posted this. It will not last as a viable business if it does not provide entertainment. Thats what you guys dont get. Short term view. You look at a business and of course as an owner you try to find easy spot. But who pays for the GD purse in the long run smart guy? If people dont find the betting entertaining, then good by purse money.
Can you imagine. Delware offering 60K Md Sp wt. purses because of slot supplementation. The industry cant survive on its own unless it is sliced up a great deal. Wonderful. The industry is having trouble standing on its
own merits and thats sad. If you cant fathom that, I feel for you.
