The TRA money that was given to the jocks guild in the past was simulcast money which was more than enough to cover the jocks... Dr. G felt they should get more (so he could get more of course) There was a continuing arguement that Jocks should be paid like every other pro athelete.... my brothers are pro's... in rowing (should say where.... one had a career ending injury) yet they did'nt get pay or benefits of any kind.. we all chose... yes this is different as it is a gambling entity... but until we bring back the regalness of the sport... we are all doomed! How many of you have insurance? How many of you work with horses? (not implying that if you don't then you don't understand... just that insurance is way out of reach for the average American). All tracks need slots... then I wouldn't mind simulcast moneys going to insurance for ALL in the industry.. including Trainers!!
