Re: Phipps Stable (503 Views)

Maybe we should just give racing back to the aristocrats for whom it is just a sport like it is in England. The trouble with the rest of us is we actually need the money, hence all the complications, deceptions, cheating, etc.. Yes, bravo to the Phipps stable. Might as well take gambling off the table, too, make these meets like the Far Hills jumping races where racing is a pleasant afternoon out with the family or business partners, black labs and standard poodles by our sides. Tailgate and try new recipes and sample wines. Sign me up for that. It's the dirty money that soiled this affair. The Phipps' interests are certainly above all that. Hey they only pay 15%-20% tax on capital gains for all that old money wealth, so why would they ever gamble in the first place??? We suckers pay 25-30% for bustin our stones at hard work.
