Horse-racing enthusiast: State should aid industry

Posted: Nov. 6, 2010

Pinnacle Race Course Finale.

Sunday is the last Live Racing Day for the 2010 season. A season filled with much anxiety, stress and uncertainty.

Michigan’s Ball and Chain around Horse Racing’s neck.

Perhaps a Change of Heart? or just the Truth. “Schizophrenic” State Planning on Horse Racing. Now that’s more accurate Tom Gantert.

Horse racing industry is both victim of state efforts to kill gambling and beneficiary of state efforts to subsidize gambling.

Now we are talking what is Horse Racing’s real issues and problem here in the State of Michigan.

Pinnacle Race Course Pays Water Bill. But on the property itself, If Huron Township had any sense?

HURON TWP: Pinnacle pays $33,000 water bill to avoid shutoff

PINNACLE RACE COURSE AND THE MICHIGAN GAMING CONTROL BOARD!

DEMANDS, DEMANDS, DEMANDS    

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, More $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, More $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$    

The Michigan Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association Offers to pay Pinnacle Race Course’s Water Bill, But told by Pinnacle Sorry Not Enough.

HURON TWP.: Horse group offers to pay track’s water bill; season might not be completed

Where and when does all this insanity stop?

PINNACLE RACE COURSE IS RACING THIS WEEKEND. RANSOM WAS PAID TO THE MICHIGAN GAMING CONTROL BOARD.

That is what this was. Holding Thoroughbred Racing Hostage in Michigan. 

 

ED BOIKE TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING ON PINNACLE RACE COURSE.

The time and date for Chairman Ed Boike’s meeting is still being worked out, said the source, who agreed to speak to Crain’s on condition of anonymity.

HEY GOVERNOR JENNIFER GRANHOLM $ 5,404,820.00 GENERATED FROM AN INDUSTRY YOU WANT TO KILL OFF, HORSE RACING.

Simulcast revenue produced from 3.5 tax for current fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. Current bal. Oct. 1, 2009 to August 15, 2010.

 $5,404,820.00

WHY DO WE HAVE TO BEG TO MAKE MICHIGAN MONEY?

This is why Michigan is failing in so many realms. They have soooooo much money they don’t need NOTHING. Do You Michigan?

Dirty Damn Shame.

Pinnacle track thundering toward finish

PINNACLE RACE COURSE DISCOURSE OR LACK OF?

Saturday’s HBPA meeting seemed to be focused on one thing and one thing only. Are we going to finish our 44 days?  

Michigan Millions of Dollars Throw Away. HORSE RACING.

From the HBPA Website   

STATE REVENUE FROM THE 3.5% SIMULCAST TAX CURRENT FISCAL YEAR: OCTOBER 1, 2009-JUNE 6,2010   

 $4,682,968   

This is what Michigan wants to throw away. MUCH NEEDED REVENUE. Well if Michigan doesn’t want it and since Horse Racing generates it. Why are the Thoroughbred Horsemen having to BUY BACK DATES WITH OUR PURSES?   

HBPA to go back to Michigan Gaming Control Board

Well it’s off to the MGCB for the Horsemen’s Benevolent Protection Association in Michigan to attempt to seal an agreement with Pinnacle for the upcoming very short meet for 2010.

Legalities may halt T.B. meet at Pinnacle Race Course

Jerry Campbell wants a ton of money from the HBPA upfront. HBPA lawyer is looking into the legalities of it all. And Pinnacle won’t guarantee a thing even if $$$ is received. Opening the door for Lawsuits from Horsemen.

Pinnacle Race Course has Clocker Available

CLOCKER AVAILABLE: There will be a clocker available at Pinnacle Race Course on Saturday and Sunday beginning Saturday April 24,2010 between 8:00am and 11:30am. In order, to assist our horsemen and women during this stressful period, the HBPA has agreed to pay for the cost of the clocker. Hope this offers some relief.
