You guys can sit on your pimple filled, fat asses all day long and knock ideas that people come up with, but you had best start thinking about what else you are going to throw your money away on soon because unless the thoroughbred industry makes some positive changes, they wont be around too much longer.

How about coming up with some ideas of your own to fix the problems the industry faces??[/QUOTE]

I'll give you a few ideas. You've heard them before and they are not going to happen but it would fix the problems. Guaranteed!!! (this is just part of the list, but a good start)

1) We have to reduce the number of races on any given card. Field size average needs to increase dramatically.

2) We have to reduce the number of tracks running per day. Forcing gambling dollars into a few larger pools.

3) There needs to be a major overhaul of the wagering menu. Standard wagers across all markets.

4) Reduced takeout!!!

5) I agree with you PBA1817, No Cheating. Harsh Penalties for any infraction.
Very refreshing to see someone who actually has a brain in their head and can think ON THEIR OWN.
