Did you miss the point about a lower tax rate to keep the backside open? Horseman are running at GP because they are open.The dispute is over future dates, not current dates. The idea that CDI keeps the backside open free of charge to assist owners and trainers is simply not true. Did you ever wonder why they don't charge stall rent when they aren't open like they do at CD? Just because Calder and GP are having a dispute about dates doesnt make essentially shutting down the business of the trainers and owners at Calder ok.
