The same can be said on the situation you describe with Normanruth. How does a first level allowance not fill?
There are no horses here...they are all babies and nickel claimers. Guys that had 10 horses last year have 5, guys that had 20 have 10.

It might get better with Churchill closing but I doubt it, Ellis Park supposedly cut dates and raised purses, trying the Monmouth route, at least that is what I heard.

People are trying, they are putting 30 extras up a night and it isn't uncommon for them to add races at 11am when they see they are gonna be there to 7pm
