Perhaps we should revisit this insane comment.. Look at the participants in any 3 g1 races at three different tracks and tell me at least half of the owners don't have a net worth of over 250mil.. Perhaps you/we could review the stakes races at Saratoga yesterday tell me 99% of the owners gave a flying FCUK about purse money..How about todays Amsterdam.. Oh you are saying I am focusing on the big circuits...Well DAH that is were the major stakes are held.. Oh and Yesterdays haskell had a bunch of tee shirt and cell phone dudes pooling there 100's.. Your funny Chuck.. 99% of owners in Graded races care about the purse because win lose or draw it really fn matters.. lol The friggin guys who claimed the Teddy Drone winner for 18k give dam the rest of the field was billionaire B or C team..lol you crack me up

Please freddy. If they didn't care so much about it why do they complain so much about it? No one said that they are going broke if they dont win but to act as the vast majority of owners arent running their horse operations as a business is silly. I mean Sheik Mo has a lot of money right? why doesnt he lower the sales commission to .5% at fasig? I mean he doesnt need the money? Why not stand the stallions for $1000? Why doesn't Jackson donate his horses earning to charity? Yeah they love to keep losing money. Thats why Monmouth added more money to their pot or CD did last summer, because noone cares about it? Dont be stupid, the money is how the really rich guys keep score. And they do keep score.

Oh I get it it's the scorecard.. Chuck in case nobody told you if they looked at the score card they would never buy a friggin horse again. These folks lose huge money each and every year. There are those in the business of breeding and racing and those that are in the hobby of racing.. You want me to accept that Zayat is keeping score.. Uh how about Hobby 100 mil your winnings 3 mil.. BTW they may try and represent that they are making BUSINESS decisions but in all candor that is truly impossible as it is a hobby.
