Thirty years ago the geeky sheet players were the devil of horse racing;at the very least a popular excuse for having a winner that made no sense to d.r.f. readers
Twenty five years ago trip hanicapping ,brought on by harness guys, made their mark against the beyer boys.
Twenty years ago the quarter-horse trainer took speed to a new dimension by extending the distance a sprinter could go.(Lukas-Baffert)
Ten years ago the offspring of quarter horse trainers(pletcher)and a claiming class trainer(Frankel-Dutrow)tightened everything up by not giving into the "old shool way" of doing things.
In the last 10 years the sport has(somehow) survived otb,simulcast,off-shore rebates,batch wagering,betting AFTER start of race.
Think a little asbestos smothered in rubber is going to stop us "in our tracks?"
