I do not like claiming races, can't stand them...

I wanted to be a middle linebacker for the Bengals growing up, I would have a better chance of being President...I dealt with it and moved on, that's the same way I feel about claiming races, if you can't compete on the top level...Why bother?

Claiming races are the backbone of the sport...eliminate them and only the boys from Dubai and fat cats from Europe and billionaires from the US would be involved in the sport! How many owners can afford a two million dollar yearling? How many trainers could get by with ..oh lets see...no horses in their barn??? You would put hundreds of thousands of folks out of work, condemn tens of thousands of horses to slaughter...why? Because you don't like claiming races??? Here's an alternative...don't watch and/or bet them!!!

Like I said, I wanted to play Pro Football, never going to happen, too slow, way too slow...Does that mean it's my only line of work and I could do nothing else?

Why bother?
You have to be making a joke!
Only 2% of foals born are entered in a stakes race.
Only 25% even make it to the track.
I'm guessing you'd like to do away with farm teams for baseball and football.
Everyone should just show up at the Bengal's summer camp, put on their gear, and hit the field.
Yeah right!

This is how I feel, not that it's right or wrong, just my opinion...I am sure everyone could make good cases for having them...
