The Coal Miners Prayer

Each dawn as we rise, lord we know all to well, We face only one thing – a pit filled with hell. To scratch out a living the best that we can, But deep in the heart, lies the soul of a man. With black covered faces, and hard calloused hands, We work the dark tunnels, unable to stand. To labour and toil as we harvest the coals, We silently pray “lord please harvest our souls”.

W.Calvert

GOD SPEED TO ALL THAT LOVED AND KNEW THEM FOR OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY WITH YOU.

DAN ADKINS CAN GO TO HELL

Dan Adkins is an Imbecile.

Thinking he can attempt to swindle unknowing individuals into this so called Petition to SAVE MI. RACING. When as written the only ones who will be saved is this GROUP he’s been hired by. Bernard Hartman and Herbert Tyner. Hazel Park Raceway real estate moguls. Or rather MORONS.

Recent Articles in the Oakland Press & Royal Oak Daily Tribune & MLive.com don’t even begin to tell the real story. Dan Adkins has himself being portrayed as some Savior for Saving Horse Racing in Michigan. And he is anything but.

Race/Fight to the Finish?

Two Jockeys at Philadelphia Park on Friday January 8, 2010 got into a fist fight.

Now having worked at the Detroit Race Course for 23 years, that’s not exactly breaking news. Many Jock’s over the years have fought after a race in the Jock’s room over many of things. Mostly over somebody they thought interfered with their ride.

So what’s the big deal?

Never have the fights broke out DURING THE RACE! This one was during the 5th race at Philly Friday.

And all must be SHUT DOWN on November 5, 2009. Both Live & Simulcasting.

But at the same time. The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians may get FEDERALLY FUNDED FOR ROADWORK near a new Casino they plan to put up at the Old Great Lakes Downs site.

All Mi. Horse Tracks about to be SHUT DOWN.

And yet not one word on our LOCAL MEDIA NEWS STATIONS.

WXYZ, WDIV, WJBK, DETROIT NEWS, OR DETROIT FREE PRESS.

But the Free Press did do an article on The Hannahville Indian Community, who wants to put up a casino in Romulus.

On November 5th because of the Veto of funding to the ORC which in reality was already dissolved by Governor Granholm. Because of lack of money for racing officials. ALL 5 MICHIGAN HORSE TRACKS WILL HAVE TO CEASE OPERATION. That means ALL Simulcasting & Live Racing.

And yet the only Media coverage I’ve seen is on links below. Out of Mid/Mi.

$20k better spent

On Oct. 8, 2009 Governor Granholm dissolved The Office of Racing Commissioner, and put us under the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Horse racing was always under Agriculture. It was mentioned in several Detroit newspaper articles that state’s House Appropriations Committee wanted to vote on conducting a study if other forms of gaming at all Mi. horse tracks would bring more money into the state. The price tag of this study? $20k.

Are they nuts?
