To hell with all the groups. I hate the herd mentality.

I am with the horsemen. If for no other reason that they haven't caved and are using their leverage as strongly as possible. Why shouldn't purses reflect an even split of the ADW revenue between tracks, horsemen and ADW companies?
Churchill no doubt will win the PR battle and people will blame the horsemen. But this has been out there for months and the plain fact is Churchill execs can't get the job done. Dunn is the falll guy. I'm going to the Bahamas for the day and night. Hopefully Merv Griffin's place will be kind to me.

Since you obviously know a great deal about this situation, maybe you could enlighten the rest of us by telling us what percentage of handle the horsemen currently get through purses and what rates Churchill charges for its signal. It will be much easier then for you to explain to us how the horsemen are getting an unfair split.

Then explain why you think horseplayers should be supporting them. Is it because of their solidarity as you suggested? What is their position that makes you think horseplayers should support them being that they have chosen specifically this time to drive their point home? Are they thinking of us during this time? I understand very well that they have points....just as I understand very well that the signal fees are in flux. I also understand that " blame " is a very nebulous thing right now in all of the current signal battles and that most have misplaced their anger at least somewhat. However, what I don't understand is why you think horseplayers should be supporting a group that clearly is not thinking of our interests right now. I want what is good for everybody. Do the horsemen? Maybe they do....enlighten me.
