I do not have a dog in this fight, but I do think the facts should be out there!
Please name for me one "horsey owner" that also owns a race track!
That's like saying Rich Hendrick own's Daytona or Roger Penske owns Indy.
What is the sole purpose of breeding and maintaing a "RACE" horse farm? GAMBLING! how many years has this been in our state? Much longer than I've
been around for sure.
The Ky tracks have ran into competion from other states and all they ask is to be able to compete on equal ground.
The big casino corp. already own the tracks, and are begging to invest multi millions of their own money into expansion if just being allowed. They
will pay back taxes to the state like no other buisness in the commonwealth.
I bet the Ky. Derby has been around longer and brought more world wide acclaim than most modern day sports to Ky.

Idea 1, Wrong the owners of the farm may gamble but the sole purpose of a breeding operation is to sell foals for an outrageous amount of money, and
they do that by the sire/dam being a winner on the track. If the dam/sire are winners on the track then they become valuable in the breeding
operation.
Idea 2, while the Kentucky Derby is a great asset to Kentucky, it is just a one day sporting event. I will argue that if Kentucky speedway gets a cup
race they will have a larger attendance in the first year with just one race that the derby. About this wordwide acclaim, this horse racing game seems
to attract some real classy folks. The shiek from the United Emirants whos family owns most of the bigger places here in Kentucky has been using small
slave children to race camels over there, real classy kind of guy. I have been around the Thouroughbred business all my life, go look in the barns of
any farm in Kentucky and you will see illegal immigrants everywhere, hay brought in from out of state, horses that are literal test dummies for
anything and everything, and now the latest is they will implant several mares with a fertilized egg from top/mare and stud, then wait till they are
born and determine witch one is the best foal and gets to be registered. You wanna guess what happens to the others? Like I said before many times, If
the horse business can stand on their own great, If you want Casinos great, but to hand the horse tracks a license just because they are a horse track
is picking winners and loosers in business and that is something the state has no business doing. Put the licenses up for bid, let them sell to the
highest bidder, if that is the horse tracks then great, if not then oh well.

And like a lot of OLD things - businesses, people, hobbies and sports interests, their time has come and gone. Horse racing is a dying industry.
Spend all afternoon at a track for 8 - 10 betting plays. Won't work this day and time, too slow, not enough plays. No wonder they want slots.
What I want to see in Kentucky is the sports betting. It's here and been here for a long time, just kinda unsavory. And sometimes the bookie might
be hard to find if you and others have hit him a hard lick.

Horse Capitol of the world will soon be know as dummy capitol of the world for letting the one thing that we are the best at in the whole world get
away. Letting hammerheads from the poorest and most backward areas of the country control this state is joke. Reeecheeee for gov!!
