President Bob Evans told analysts and investors the company’s disagreement with horsemen on advance-deposit-wagering revenue could linger into 2009."--end quote IMHO, not good for the industry at all. -jp .

As purses there drop, and trainers take their horses elsewhere, and they all start losing a ton of money, wouldn't this serve as a cautionary tale to other racetracks and horseman's groups?

The players don't really have a say in this. And right now my view is that the players are paying a price in the battle between the tracks and the horsemen. I view the players as part of the industry too - just like the tracks and the horsemen are part of the industry. IMHO, the sooner this nonsense is over with the better for all concerned. -jp .
