You have a point that you want to make and are not taking the time to look at the big picture. Not particularly unusual on the internet.

What is the big picture? That people should have to spend $30 for a license - which would give them all the unfettered access they want at any circuit in the country - and get them past security no questions asked?

Someone might throw a cobra venom dart.
You could then blame the unknown demon.

Based on what trainers hint at, they have more
to fear from employee's from other trainers
than the general public.

I see your point. You pay 30 dollars so that automatically
means your clean. BTW might have had a terrorist fly a
plane into his face, so metal detectors are the next step.
no little bottles of shampoo, take your boots off

Personally I would want to control the number of people
and how close they can get to what can be very skittish animals.
People and animals could get hurt.

You might want to put the whole quote in
next time and not just the sarcasm. Rather
a low blow.

What is it that I posted that you disagree with?

There are some great imaginations on this board...

Of this I have no doubt.

No, DrugS, Danzig is right.

And she pointed out exactly what was wrong with your sports analogy.

No problem. I just see Drugs point about the 30 bucks.

Sorry pgardn, that was just the part that jumped out at me... (darts)

Wasn't intended as a swipe.

I always wondered about barn security at tracks across America, it is considered a problem?

I don't really have much of an idea how it works, but it can't be easy having several trainers all in the same 'space'. We know that horseracing around the world isn't exactly a straight sport.

As you know, over here there are very few trainers who actually train 'on site'. There are a couple, but that's it. In Newmarket they all have separte yards, but everyone but Godolphin use the public training grounds that surround the town. Godolphin have huge amounts of land now and steadily they are buying all the farm land in and around the town to build private gallops on.

There are three main thraining centres in the UK; Newmarket, Lambourn and Middleham/Leyburn. There are many trainers scattered around that have their own gallops and training facilities that are for private use only.

I have to say I prefer it like that, but maybe that's just because what I'm used to. There are too many risks having so many horses trained at a track, where so many people go to on a daily basis and viruses can be spread easily.
