Reading thru this topic, I'm just being pushed harder over to Hong Kong and Japan racing.
The "they're all in cahoots" sounds like a conspiracy theory, but in truth, that is how things are done these days. They call it "networking" ROTFL
As time progresses, they eat their own, then somebody else moves into the syndicate. Like right now Repole is probably asking a lot of questions, but it's his own fault for choosing his connections.
I'm pretty loyal to my interests and hobbies and friends, it takes a lot to "chase me off" but I've got my toe on the finish line at this point. I think what will be left of U.S. horseracing in 1-2 decades will be 4 tracks and mostly just "gambler types". Anyone who actually cares about horses and breeding is leaving or has already left, the baffert cluster deaths chased away at least a few hundred (for sure), and the on-going other crap (like possible secret deals and agreements behind the curtain, and the increasing amount of horses wiht racing plates still on and lip tatoos sandpapered off showing up in the kill lots).......is going to take it's toll.
This is in addition to the once fans who got disgusted with the drugging and whipping a long time ago.
If I were going to be reincarnated I would consider it a punishment now to come back as a racehorse. That's pretty bad right? I cringe at the thought of having that karmic bad luck.

Rather unique way to make your point, and it works! Never thought of it that way. When I was a newbie to the sport, I though stallions had quite the life, but after reading about Alydar...I'll pass!

I want to come back as a compendium of race results that have not run yet.
But, if in heaven, everybody has a compendium, everybody wins, But, Everything pays $2.10.

Dogs, $2.10 compounded for eternity over & over is good! Plus, dynamite free buffet & cigar room.

Haha! Yes. The fortunate ones who don't have to jump. The unfortunate jumpers land in The Losers Lounge (where it's awfully HOT) & they are consigned to stand on very long line for a teller. When they finally reach the window, a fiend laughs & says, you're shut out, loser!
Then your pick wins & pays boxcars. Over & over & over. Ad Infinitum.

Wow. That would be hell. Especially if every time you got in line there was someone in front of you that took 20 minutes (another lifetime local time) to place a $2 show bet then proceeded to count out dimes to pay for it. Then of course as you step forward (finally!) the bell rings. Every time.

They've got the Belmont Blues...if the colt wins or lose
Whether or not the winner ran out of his 3 yr old shoes
They 've got the blues, baby, baby, the Belmont blues
Undefeated. Apollo too. what more, come on! give me some real clues
Yes oh yes definitely ...that's the Belmont Blues
The colt looked great. And surely could rate
But why oh way can't you just say the horse is great
Blues Baby..yeah it's the Belmont Blues
Now heading for New Jersey, Monomouth near the shore
Come on everybody let's all get to see some more
It'll cure the blues, yeah, those blue..blue Belmont Blues
It's definitely a problem accepting this newest rascal
Let's see what this guy's got.. going into the Haskell
Blues if you win, or blues if you lose... there's no doubt about
The colt took the crowns...And made the headlines news
...so baby. So baby...
Just don't blow a fuse

The only thing worse would be if while the eternal replay goes on, we were treated to an endless loop of Dogs singing The Belmont Blues but just slightly flat. :)
