The horsemen cannot accept that the public overwhelmingly rejects the harness product as currently presented. <br /><br />Judging from some of the letter writers on Standardbred Canada, horsemen are in denial and continue to believe slot revenue is their entitlement. They fail to understand that because slot funds firstly belong to ALL taxpayers of Ontario, horsemen have no greater entitlement than any other segment of society. <br /><br />Furthermore, given society's experience of the Industrial Revolution, it's clear that dying industries DO NOT warrant govt support and must be abandoned. Right now harness racing is a dying industry. Without major fundamental reworking, resuscitation is not recommended.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
