Re: Tampa Bay Downs HANA Pool Race Tuesday (1243 Views)

I would recommend that all read the link included in Dean's post. The notion of
a "Buycott" (directing wagers to a selected track or tracks) is a feasible way
in which horseplayers can get the attention of the decision makers.

Unfortunately, given the nature of the horseplaying beast, an absolute "Boycott"
of Racing for an entire day is not feasible and innocent vendors such as
Thorograph would be negatively impacted.

I disagree with one statement in the HANA article regarding helping smaller
tracks survive. The only way to restore the quality of Racing, and to eliminate
poorly bred and unsound runners, is to eliminate the safety net which "leaky
roof" facilities provide for an inefficient breeding industry.

Tampa Bay Downs is the beneficiary of the next HANA Buycott. Tampa would
actually have an essential role in Richiebee's model of contracted racing,
serving as a "B Tier" facility supporting a 9 month (no summer racing in
Florida) Florida circuit.
