Century Race Club introduces Newest Horse

Century Racing Club

Sal says that Century Race Club does not understand that thoroughbred people and jiggie people are two separate breeds. They’re still on the QKB mentality – kill the healthy chicken to make chicken soup for the sick one. Give a Century Race Club membership that includes a couple of jiggies to a thoroughbred person as a Christmas gift and you’re more likely to get punched in the face than thanked.

Century needs to understand their customer base and quit using the thoroughbreds to prop up the lame duck jiggies.

Tracks need to remember that it’s the customer who should be dictating the entry days, not the tracks.

Owners who support cheating trainers but pretend to know nothing are part of the problem, too. Wittingly or not, they are enablers who should know better.

Sal says that for all owners it should be blinkers off. Sal says that if Gary West didn’t know what was going on in Servis’ barn then he is the biggest fucking fool in the Universe. Sal says that if Gary West thinks that anyone except his mother believes this holier than thou goody two shoes rhetoric he’s feeding us now then he’s even a bigger fool.

Sal says that because it’s getting close to Christmas he used rhetoric instead of bullshit.

  1. DAWN WHITEWASH SNOWJOB PODCAST

    Another example of HRA podcast deflecting the industry recovery by not presenting any financial numbers as to health of three breeds.

    ZUCKOWSKI wins honest leader by stating quarter horses numbers at 80 head from 150,and the future perils that they are facing.

    MUCKA hits a harness triactator with conversations with director racing, head judges at Mohawk and Western Fair. When AGCO compliant portal hole becomes a black hole, the direct method always wins. The candid remarks made me feel like Santa, as I was giving and they were receiving my concerns.
