but very few are prepared to help bake the pie,and the poor gambler has to buy the ingredients for the pie everyday.
i think the pie will go stale if the horse racing board don't waken up and smell the coffee.

The owners pay, and the betters pay.
In Ireland the annual fact book (or was it an outside independent report) stated owners earn 25% of their costs i.e. a 75% loss. The fact book also claimed (last time I looked) that over 70% of horses earn money. They did not highlight the fact that prizemoney goes down to sixth place, and sixth place is Euro 105. Buy a horse, pay training fees, earn Euro 105, and officialy you are earning. |

Yeah. gamblers put in as much as owners. I think thats a chicken and magic mushroom pie you are eating mate. I assume you are talking to me. My experience is from both sides. I have put in well into six figures as an owner breeder. My betting records downloads from the only two boomakers I used both showed a profit. I analysed the cost of 2,109 yearlings bought at a Tattersalls yearling sale - auction cost against race earnings. From memory earning were about one third of cost (before any training fees). 29 of the 30 most expensive lots (I excluded one who raced in Hong King) earned 3.5% of what they cost (again before training or other costs). Have you recently given 150,000 to the bookmakers? I doubt it. |

Can anyone do a Pie Chart?

When the pie starts to go stale blue mold will appear and then nobody will want a slice.
so the horse racing board need to check that their pie is daily fresh when delivered . otherwise we will soon see a sell by date on all slices.  |

The problem is the big pie.

No Kincsem I was talking to OP. I am well aware that you are an owner breeder. It's people like you that payroll this sport not the winging gamblers. And I have certainly spent in excess of £150k on training fees over the last 10 years.

you guys don't believe it,but the pie has started to blue mold ,and nobody cares.
the race courses will turn into Shopping centers .The bookie offices will turn into sweet shops,trainers will return to farming,breeders will breed cattle,exchanges will only be playing roulette and slots,jockeys will turn into farm hands,owners will invest in robots,TV broadcasters will move to another sport,and the only slice survivor will be Government who will want a new slice of the new action. its time for the horse racing board to save the industry,but they are not interested. the blue mold will spread quickly ,the time for action is NOW. but they don't care,"what time is the next race,?round about half six or so,it should be off before seven,or thereabouts." |

By:
Only one course of action left brass , eat it

its time for the horse racing board to eat humble pie ,admit they have done nothing for years upon years and move the racing industry into 2024 modern era.And that means running the races at the advertised time.
