Re: [RC] TB Racing, Soundness, Speed, Hooves - Horse Address

I agree.  I had Arabian horses racing at Los Alamitos and Turf Paradise in
the mid to late 90's - and they ran for so little money then, and the
number of horses were so few.  But the bottom line is $$ - the daily handle
- the money that the tracks bring in from the bettors.

I see that on 7/20 Los Alamitos has one race for Arabians, on and eight
race card - they run for $7,000.  The run at least as hard at the TB's do,
and for so little return.  The numbers just aren't there.

Same as TB's 1 Jan for Arabs birthdate. There is not much Arabian racing 
anymore. The only one in the East is Delaware. Tampa dropped it one Arab 
race of the week a couple years ago since they were not getting any more 
that 2 or 3 entries. There are a few other tracks around the country 
that have Arab racing but it is on the decline.

At one time the UAE and Saudi's were big into Arab racing. They've all 
gone into TB racing big time and don't support Arab racing much anymore.

Arabians are not allowed to race until they are 3. I am not sure if

this is

calendar 3 or Jan 3
