And in my opinion the owners and trainers with horses racing on a given day should be "entitled" to accommodations on that day.
Please explain how derby day will degrade into 5 -12 K claimers if owners aren't
"Accomodadted" . Will owners take their million dollar purchases and turn them into carriage horses to recoup their money instead of running them for the huge purses on Derby Day?
