Vic, seriously Cal racing is in serious trouble.. When can we expect Rosario to come to Philly Park during the day and Penn Nat at nigh?. Love your calls, think Joel Rosario is terriffic come east and grab a handful of cash. You never know when you are going to need a few extra bucks

Even though the purses are good at Philly Park, there simply are not enough big stakes races there. If you're the leading rider at Philly Park, you're not going to make anything close to what Joel makes right now. Here is a link to the national standings. Joel is 6th leading rider in the country with earnings of $12.6 million. He couldn't make anything close to that at Philly Park. If you're the leading rider at Philly Park, you won't even be in the top 20 in money won.
