But let me ask you this. A windfall comes your way, and you are bless with $50,000 to buy a horse.
Are you going to spend that money on a 1D horse or a 4D horse?

I suppose it depends on whether or not a person can ride a 1D horse, at least in some instances. Other's would just buiy the 1D horse and run him, even if they can't ride a rocking chair. |

Location: Louisiana | Sooo if all the 2-5d horses don't deserve to get paid the same even though it cost us the same to entry fee, fuel, feed, vet bills, maybe we just need to stay home and then the 1D horses can run against each other for a WHOLE LOT less money. I am a supporter of equal payouts. There are more horses that run in the 2-5d at a big race than in the 1D. JMO

I wish, I could only ever dream of owning a $50,000 horse.

Location: Great NW | I will not support a race that does equal payout no matter what D I am running in at the time. The 1D should get a higher percentage of the payout, the 2D a bit less and so on.

Yes...but isn't that why D's were invented in the first place? |

You are right, there are more horses that run in the 2D-5D at big barrel races AND smaller ones...that's where the term "the cream rises to the top" comes from. Average to below average shouldn't get paid the same as the cream of the crop....jmo. |

Obama would try to convince you that equal pay makes the wealth redistribution of a 4D acceptable to capitalists. |
