			<link>http://harnessphere.ustrotting.com/topic/3093/t/Seasonal-Honors-39-09.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dean Hoffman is ready to hand out his &quot;Hoofman&quot; awards (maybe I&#39;ll start something?) since the stake season is
basically over and most award winners are in the barn cooling out for the winter.  See if you agree with his assessments.  Too bad horse of the year honors are
not a toss up like last year or the thoroughbreds this year, those are an interesting conversations.  Deans thoughts:</span>

			<description><![CDATA[ <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Meadowlands has just announced some changes for the upcoming year.  Amongst the changes is a reduction in fees to enter
the Meadowlands Pace.  The reason, to spark more interest.  Will it work is the question?</span>

			<description><![CDATA[ <span style="font-weight: bold;">No, I&#39;m not talking about joint down the street, this is how they referred to the fact that two time horse of the year,
Auckland Reactor, is leaving his homeland, New Zealand (thanks Jimmy), to come to the states after all.  It appears the North American members of the 10 member
syndicate will get their way when it comes to AR.  He had been a topic of discussion earlier in the year when similar plans fell though.</span>

			<description><![CDATA[ RP pulled pocket w Break The Bank vs Lucky Chucky costing him a 2nd place finish. What was he thinking??
<br>
<br>
Did he think he was going to trot by Chucky?? What a horrible decision. He is a HOFer and is brilliant on occasion--but drives like this one make us all
scratch our heads and forces folks like myself to say disparaging words against him. You never know with RP----obviuosly not a cerebral driver ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I hope the anti-trust people take a look at this.  If deal goes through they will control 40% of the ADW business in the United States.  They can squeeze
tracks for lower commissions to carry their signal or drop it as well as demand a huger commission for their own product.  Eithet way, the purse accounts may
be squeezed from both ends.

			<link>http://harnessphere.ustrotting.com/topic/3075/t/Economics-101.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Under another topic I posted about Santanna Blue Chip as an example of a horse that did not race after three. I did a little research and discovered his stud
fee is $4,000 and served 140 mares. If you do the math, that is $560,000 without the risk and cost of racing. Would he have earned that much if he had raced
this year? If you do the math for a horse with a higher stud fee, it becomes more difficult to imagine the horse earning more money by racing at four and
beyond.

 I had 2 friends that went to CHST live yesterday.  They told me that there were no more than 100 people betting the horses.  3 windows open with never a wait.

<br>
<br>
My wife, neighbors and a good friend , all who never watch or go to the races , commented and watched this presentation. They thought it interesting ,
exciting, tastefully done, and really perked their interest in horse racing.
<br>
<br>
This is what we need and MUST put forward in the years to come.
