6/19: MDN CLM ($16k CLM PRICE) -- EASTERN PRIME 54 BSF ( $15k purse)
6/20: NYB-MSW -- HOLD THE CRUISER 54 BSF ( $41k purse)
6/21: NYB-MSW -- KITTY WISH 56 BSF ( $42k purse)
So even though your New York bred may be as slow and pathetic as Rampillion, my guess is you'll put that same $30,000-$50,000 into her or him and run through conditions in NYB company. Just a hunch. Even though she'll be facing similar vermin to that which Rampillion faced. But it will be OK because it won't be slot money fueling the purses.. just NY taxpayer dollars funneled into the state bred development fund. Totally different scenario..  |
Taxpayer money invested into an industry in an effort to promote it and have it develop jobs is good business when done correctly. Racing should be and is entitled as an industry to state government investment. And yes I hate the friggin Lottery also. Half the folks at a GA meeting are broke from the g-d damned lottery.
