Yes, unfortunately the horsemen are caught in the middle, but they can always take their business elsewhere if that is what the owners want. It's not like Calder is the only cheap track on the east coast. It is unfortunate that they can't get all Sharks and Jets out in the parking lot and settle this. Instead, both sides will make seemingly outrageous statements, a lot of dumb things will be said on message boards and other ether-ial places and then they will work this thing out like civilized people do.

Except the horseman aren't owned by CDI and as such shouldnt be held hostage by Calder. The idea that you can just pick up and move your stable at the drop of a hat is stupid.
