That is one reason that I don't actually watch the races anymore, even though I am a fan of the sport in general. I cannot stand to see horses break down.
people came in here saying "its part of the game..horses break down"
but thats not what I was talking about...lmfao
I was talking about how TVG and ESPN downplaying it....so people continue to bet their mortgage
and how the government invites people to bet their money on horses while the states takes out about 35% of the track revenue...not to mention any winnings that are federally taxed over 600-1
what Im saying is....the government says its aaa ooo kkk!!
even though these horses....living animals....are treated like throw away garbage
as far as caring about the crooked jockeys.....I really dont.....those clowns along with the horse trainers and owners play the game....and milk the american public in the process
only 3 jockeys ive seen that were honest....as in I never seen them stand up on a horse or lose on purpose were.....
pincay.....stevens....and P Val.....the rest of em were all stiffs....jerry baily and pat day included....espescially pat day....I seen him run dead last on gentleman at odds of 1/20 in a 4 horse field....$900,000 to show.....and he ran off the board....fucking criminals
