ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR JOCKEY AND OR JOCKEYS TO RACE IN COSEQUIN
CHALLENGE. MUST BE AGGRESSIVE AND FOCUSED TO WIN! PROFESSIONALS PREFERRED.
WILL PAY ALL EXPENSES AND PERCENTAGE OF WINNINGS. ALSO WILL CONSIDER
PURCHASE OF SOME TOP HORSES. THIS MESSAGE WAS WRITTEN BY MIKE EVERETT (NOT
RUTH ANNE) FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF FEEDBACK. PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR
MONEY! HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED NICKEL DIME POKER FOR FUN AND THEN RAISE THE
STAKES TO FIVE DOLLARS AND TEN DOLLARS? IT IS REAL OBVIOUS HOW THE FUN
DISAPPEARS FOR MOST AND HOW MANY PEOPLES PERSONALITIES AND PERCEPTIONS
CHANGE. I FEEL IT IS GREAT THAT VALERIE AND CREW CAN RAISE THIS SUM OF FUNDS
FOR A RACE!!!!! HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT AERC SHOULD RECEIVE THE FUNDS FROM
COSEQUIN AND ADMINISTER THE WINNINGS BASED ON A CERTAIN PERCENT OF THE TOTAL
SPONS0RSHIP FUNDS. THE LARGEST PORTION COULD BE KEPT BY AERC TO HELP FUND
WHATEVER THE MEMBERSHIP DEEMED NECESSARY. I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHERE I
STAND ON THESE ISSUES. I AM FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR THE SPORT AND THE PEOPLE
AND HORSES INVOLVED. I THINK IT IS BEST TO NOT BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE AND TO
REMAIN OPEN MINDED. I SURE WISH I COULD ACHIEVE WHAT THE TOP RIDERS HAVE
ACHIEVED AND I RESPECT THEIR DESIRES TO BE REWARDED FOR THEIR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THE DEBATE IS HEALTHY FOR "OUR" SPORT AND I FEEL CONFIDENT
THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES WILL MAKE THE WISE CHOICES. KEEP IT UP.
RIDE,,,REALLY RIDE. MIKE EVERETT
