So I ask myself what is it that the administrative geeks that run CDI and/or the NYRA have to believe in order to make decisions that appear so stupid to me as a player.

1. Clueless Clowns must believe players have little or no choice. Similar to Detroit auto execs in the 1960's.

2. Clueless Clowns must believe it is more important to suck up to owners than to players. Similar to politicians.

So I must come to grips with the reality - the future of US thoroughbred racing will be different than the past.

We live in a world economy, I will be betting into Asian pari-mutuel pools or bookmaker not US claiming races with five entrants.

I will be patronizing European style proposition betting operations. Hopefully Monmouth this summer?

NYRA and CDI will continue to downsize and the Clueless Clowns will not be offered new jobs by the wealthy owners they are sucking up to.

I'll spend more time watching the Masters this weekend than Horse Racing. Gotta go.... the 4th @ Eagle Farms is coming up and I like a couple of the 18 entries and each of them are better than 12/1.

Pathetic Clueless Clowns!
