Lots of people were asked for voluntary layoffs in the past month,and now from what my sources tell me,there is more to come.
Racing will be at 4 pm permanently this year on saturday,which is great for us who play Belmont.We can get out of there before all the madness starts.
Without Claiming Crown this year,the numbers will be low again,so look for Randy to make an unpopular announcement this fall.
If they want to save money,all it would take is a phone call."Yeah Paul?This is Randy.YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!"

When I went out to make my picks today at Canterbury for the "In the $$$" and Road to KY contests, I talked to one of the regulars who said Gorg is one of the casualties, and that Maday will be doing the picks in the paddock this year. Interesting...

I know there's a lot of hate for P.A. (Paul Allen), but I like him and his race calling. I hate mono-toned announcers (including Denman), so unless your name is Battaglia, showing emotion and a difference in tone in your race calling is a good thing. Besides, they'd probably replace him with the Tampa Bay guy who subs for P.A. when P.A. does Vikings games. No thanks...

I don't think there is a lot of Hate for him.I just think people are just tired of him.We have been hearing the exact same bullshit out of him for years now and it is really old.It is especially annoying how he calls Quarter horse races.To me,the most annoying thing about him is how he walks around the place like he is some kind of superstar,yet he couldn't pick an apple off a tree,much less a horse.Most peoplle I know would just like a change.It would probably improve the handle out there,because between 5 o'clock and the start of the first race,there is a huge exodus of big money players out the door."unless your name is Battaglia"- That's Hilarious!!!
