![]() What kind of backlash? Do you honestly think that anybody who was going to play races this week thought about the HOY award, got disgusted and decided not to play? That is if they even knew the awards were given out Monday night. Like I said in a previous post, the majority of gamblers just don't care.

![]() I have thought all along the track felt good and then I would see the race times and couldnt believe how fast they were going because it didnt feel hard. Then this week they have added some sand to it and until today I didnt notice and diffirence, today the track felt like it had a little extra bounce to it and from the times I saw this afternoon it has slowed down some.

http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/nat...-criteria.aspx While the idea of establishing more HOY criteria is not new, I just think that even more people inside the industry might call for changes. And whether they do or not, I'm sure you're right -- horseplayers will keep on playing. |
