Does that mean Jay Cohen will take over the bugling duties up north? Or, would David Hardiman take over the bugling duties down south?

David Hardiman is the best of the best.. a real musician... The Breeders Cup needs to hire him to replace the Street Musician this year.. my ears would greatly appreciate not hearing Happy Birthday 5 times before every race for tips

Here is the problem, almost all of the horses that run at HP will not qualify to run at Fairplex.


HP could have filled the fields with 2-5 thousand dollar claimers

Because that would constitute quality racing.

The cheap claimers that you want to see run at Hollywood will only increase the breakdown rate, which is will cause you to complain about that. If you think you are going to get rich betting on cheap horses running for cheap purses you are clearly misinformed. Not only that but the "players" that you are referring to don't want to bet on cheap races, they want QUALITY racing. If you have any questions on that see what's going on in your beloved Kentucky racing because that's one of their problems. Take a look at the bigger days of racing across the country this year and you will find that when the track puts out some quality racing, their handle goes up.

Now are you a player that wants to win money or what ?
