Since Donald Trump seems to be the leader of the mocking haters will the fat fucking jerk show us how he could do better or just keep flapping his fat fucking hole.

Why doesn’t the fact fucking orange piece of shit run around a soccer pitch for 90 minutes and show us how it’s done. The public could bet on when he’ll have a heart attack.

“The horse was just a magnificent horse,” he continued. “He was beautiful, and I’ve never sold a yearling, or Taylor Made hasn’t, that has so much stallion power. Into Mischief, Beholder’s half brother, has been the leading sire in America four years in a row. So when you have that sire power, and the father of the yearling is Curlin, you have elite power. If he wins a grade 1, it’s a $75 million syndication.”

Phil has a question:

Why does Alberta have only 1 legal online betting site that is run by the government when the UCP is supposed to be a free enterprise supporting party.

Is the sports betting market slowly eroding the horse race betting market.

Amazing Grace

I’ve spoken with so many people in the last year who have been in the racing business their whole lives and who, from one vantage point or another, fight to do the right things by horses. They’re tired. They’re jaded. They’re getting tired of answering questions from their barista or taxi driver about horse deaths. They’re telling me they’re not sure how much longer they can keep defending the sport, and starting to wrestle with their own moral responsibility in continuing on.

More and more, I don’t know what to say to them.

Phil has a question:

Have you noticed that the comments on the Athletic are better than most sites.

(Let’s pause to note the irony in Hoffman moving to San Jose in a Karlsson trade. Hoffman was traded by Ottawa to the Sharks in 2018, who immediately traded him to to the Florida Panthers. The reason for the trade at the time: Allegations surfaced that his fianceé had harassed then-Ottawa captain Erik Karlsson’s wife online.)

CENTURY DOWNS experienced an $800k or 8% drop in casino revenue for the first 6 months, even with a UCP increase in operator takeout from 15% to 17%. The built in excuse of competition from a nearby new casino will be used as a BS reason rather than adapting to new market dynamics.

Positive news is the S7 million UCP lifeline was paid off in March, and the harness driver fee was increased from $20 to $25 – a paltry increase!!
