“I have made hundreds of millions of dollars, and people actually think I’m going to put a jockey on the back of a $5,000 claimer, knowing the horse is sore and risking the guy’s life?” Gill said. “I’m not going to go on under those circumstances.”

"Gill has entered four horses for Wednesday night’s program at Penn National, but the jockeys’ boycott remains in place...I’m going to run my horses Wednesday,” Gill said. “Those other guys can do whatever they want.”

This reminds me of the movie "Crash". There's not one person with redeeming qualities to root for.

It's certainly as juicy as Lanzman vs. IEAH vs. Mullins though.
