[RC] Like Flat Track Racing????? - k s swigartMaryanne Gabbanni said: Living in one of those underdeveloped countries, you can have all the classes available in the world, but if you have set up the expectation that endurance racing is a way of making money like in flat track racing, ... I don't know what flat track racing is like in underdeveloped countries, but around these parts flat track racing isn't considered a way of making money. Sure, there are a handful of people making money playing the low level claiming game, but flat track racing is well recognized as a way to SPEND money, not make it. There IS a reason that it is called "The Sport of Kings"...because kings (and other ridiculously wealthy people who don't have to worry about where their money comes from) are the only ones who can afford to play. Of course, you are spending it on paying jockeys, trainers, farriers, vets, grooms.... So, some of these people are making money off of race horse owners. But few of them are very well paid, so they aren't making MUCH money. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
