There is money to be made like Gill was doing it..Slot tracks with high purse levels for horrendous horses. If you had 20 geldings like my pig you would be fine.. Racing horrible laimos threated with legal rugs that allows them to not feel shiiiit seems to be the NEW race market..Why I have NO clue

Err... can someone translate for me, please? My Freddymoese is a bit rusty and since I'm pregnant I can't drink, which usually helps with the translation.

Oohhhhhh! Thank you. I was trying to figure out how carpeting was a factor and then wondered if you were making a statement about synthetic tracks.

Here let me explain without delving into the the numbers which overwhelmingly prove my point. If he was making money, he wouldnt have given up so easily.

He was paying way more than that freddy. He had to pay all the employees, etc. he was paying the costs of a trainer, not an owner. he paid all the costs plus salaries plus paid for the land and vans etc...

Ness was a VERY mediocre trainer until he had a sudden epiphany in Jan of 2007.

He was dealing with scum and paid them as such.. He took 3 mil out of the state X Philly Park and he still has the residual value of the horses.. He made a lot of good claims..More good then bad and most neutral.. The bad horses made al ot of purse money.. The reason Beattie and friends had him tossed was because he was taken 'their" purse money... Ness is part of the team so they leave him be..
