Thankfully the local dog track here in St Petersburg - Derby Lane - has full card simulcasting of races from Churchill Downs. That said, what's going on between horsemen and track operators has me feeling like I did with the '94 MLB strike. And I've never overcome that. Without bettors there are no tracks or horsemen. That point doesn't seem to resonate strongly enough with those arguing over how much of a percentage of simulcast revenue should be earmarked for purses. Bettors getting the shaft is nothing new. We've been getting for years.
