Hello Racing Fans for Saturday, May 3
HANDLE DOWN ON OAKS DAY
Wagering fell 5.5% on Churchill Downs racing card Friday. The nation’s largest group of racing fans, HANA, urged a boycott of the action as a result of increase in takeout at the last minute. Churchill has also come under fire from prominent horse owner Rick Porter who was not offered seating for the day despite having horses in the stakes race as well as being a Horse of the Year owner and Derby owner in the past. More bad news when legendary jockey Ron Turcotte of Secretariat fame told the media he’s been refused a handicapped parking pass for several years. In addition, many ADW’s are prohibited from taking the racing action at Churchill forcing many fans to sites they don’t want to play with.
