You would put hundreds of thousands of folks out of work, condemn tens of thousands of horses to slaughter...why? Because you don't like claiming races??? Here's an alternative...don't watch and/or bet them!!!
Like I said, I wanted to play Pro Football, never going to happen, too slow, way too slow...Does that mean it's my only line of work and I could do nothing else?
