“I always felt that it was very strange that young people weren’t attracted to the sport,” he said. “The fact that I felt more vanity as an owner in horse racing versus being at the Grammys told me that if I give young people that type of experience, eventually they will be attracted to the vanity and convert into a fan, because the sport is beautiful, fun, and exciting. People just need a reason to be exposed to it.”

Phil’s reprising what Sal said in his recent Arlington Beverly D post.
Sal says that Adam Kluger’s whose Run Fast Racing owns the winner of the $401,500 Bing Crosby Stakes GI at Del Mar comment to Jay Hovdey alluded to a problem that thoroughbred racing seems to ignore on its slow but sure slide down the slippery slope into oblivion:
I couldn’t figure out why horse racing had such a negative connotation with young people.
Kluger, 40, manages talents such as Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne.
“I got arrested when I was underage because I kept going back and betting at a Tampa Bay greyhound track,” Kluger said. “I became a horse owner about six years ago. I couldn’t figure out why horse racing had such a negative connotation with young people. It’s been my goal to make it more accessible to everyone, and to let people enjoy the vanity of the sport. For their $100, they get the thrill of the experience and none of the hassle. And, on a day like this, there’s champagne, and a trip to the Breeders’ Cup.”

Sal says that the Thoroughbred Horse Racing Commissioner should get on the horn with Kluger and myriad other owners and participants and see why horse racing has such a negative connotation with young people. Once the problem was figured out wouldn’t it be easier to come up with a solution or solutions.
Sal says that he checked with ChatGPS, a distant AI cousin that tells you where you’re at, and garnered that there is no Thoroughbred Horse Racing Commissioner except for the self appointed Mike Repole whose modus operandi seems to be to alienate as many people as possible.
Sal says that Thoroughbred Horse Racing will just continue on its slippery slope slide into oblivion.
Sal says that in the FC Trump era where the only rules are please the master con man in the white House fascist criminals like Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara can con billions out of the masses with only the insider trading whales prospering honesty does not prevail.
Sal says that next time you’re chatting around the water-cooler listening to the others regaling their predictions market and other on-line gambling escapades (losses), dare mention that you bet an exacta at Saratoga over the weekend and they’ll turn on you in unison with: You’re a fucking degenerate gambler.
Sal says the highly regulated Thoroughbred Horse Racing Industry that is working to get rid of the insider trading whales to level the playing filed for the regular player does not stand a chance in the con eat con world and ChatGPS told Sal that the meek don’t inherit the gambling earth.
