Oh no. This is horrible news! I loved reading the thoroughbred times.

They were a wonderful publication, in my opinion. I especially loved their coverage of the Triple Crown.

And Thoroughbred Times Today was a great and informative e-mail supplement that I read daily.

Read on the Bloodhorse that the employees were Fed Exed their termination notice and the building is locked and inaccessible.

Nice way to treat people.

That's a surprise, and a shame. When I grabbed a free copy yesterday at KEE , didn't know it would be the last, ever. Always liked the good mix of content.

The internet has indeed made print media impossible to continue to finance via advertisements. Terrible thing for the employees, to not even be able to get any warning.

This really sucks. It was a good magazine and I used to visit their website often.

The slot machine players don't need statistics - just pull the handle click-click-click like a chimpanzee would.

I'm a little angry about this one.

That explains why I haven't received a daily e-mail from them since 9/15.

Too bad. I really enjoyed them.

I loved the coverage, Dr. Allday, and the Freshman Sire Contest. Good luck to the employees. Hope the Bloodhorse can stay solvent.
