High Five!
Breeders’ Cup Future Stars Friday is here. HIGH FIVE to all our readers and supporters and to the Breeders’ Cup for putting this event together World Class!
Low Five!
It is tough to grasp a Go Fund Me being needed for an MRI machine in an industry where billions are gambled, made, lost, and some of the highest financial risks taken pretty regularly. Yes we need the MRI machine and the horses and this sports deserves it BUT a GO Fund Me to pay for it. Seriously? LOW FIVE!
Low Five!
Remington Park has to get a Low Five for charging bettors who come just to cash a winning ticket.
High Five!
“Are the ways we are doing things the right way to do them?” High Five to Craig Fravel, The Breeders’ Cup President and CEO and soon to be Stronach Group CEO for opening the owners’ conference with that question. Most of us know the answer. The time for some significant changes is now. High Five to Joseph O’ Brien for putting himself in a position to win a Breeders’ Cup race as a jockey, and possibly as a trainer. Freddy Head won twice aboard Miesque and saddled the great Goldikova. Joseph won on St. Nicholas Abby, and is here going for training wins with Alligator Alley, maybe Air Force Jet, Unforgettable, Iridessa and Just Wonderful.
Low Five!
Low Five to these guys. LA Times! The Breeders’ Cup is in their backyard and their coverage is for the birds but if something bad happens in our industry they are on it like white on rice, or in California brown on rice. Agenda driven journalism ceases to be journalism.
High Five!
High Five to the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation. Here we have an organization focused on bringing light to issues in the industry which alienate and drive fans away, and prevent us from attracting any meaningful number of new ones. They are up against it, but we are here to help and hope they keep trying. Indeed.
Low Five!
Rudy says where is my money, Zayat says we paid it. Someone gets the Low Five here, we are not sure who.
