Richard Young Blisters Jug, Vows to Never Come Back

[beans and weenies]

Good Luck finding the "real meat and potatoes" of the rules for the Jug and Jugette.  Since these same  folks have been in charge for the last 10 to 30  years they have covered their tracks pretty well but the info is still there just needs to be uncovered and it will be.   There are people aware and  The 'good ole boys ' are dying off or jumping ship and
things will be shook up pretty good and it's way over due. The gravy train is gonna derail.  When it does I hope it doesn't taint the Jug and Jugette to the extent that it can't recover.   It will be hard because of the amount of money in purses will only get better with so many states getting slot infused purses that the Jug and Jugette won't be as inviting as it once was.

I'm Just Saying, I'd sue them, no doubt.  Unless of course, I was under the wrong assumption with old info and couldn't get it through my thick head until it was too late to pull out of the race or I didn't even know about the $25,000 until somebody gave me old information and I was pissed that I had to pay $5 to park because I'm a cheap bastard with no class.  If that were the case, I'd complain and not sue.  That appears to be the road he has chosen.

And BTW, why was the only complaint about paying for parking coming from the guy who walked away with the most money?

But the bottom line is you have to ask yourself that if it is so clear that he is owed the money & has vowed never to come back (aww, we'll miss you), why wouldn't he sue them?

From what I understand the bonus was never written out of the conditions even though the raceoff was eliminated. In all likelihood the bonus will be awarded then eliminated from future races. As for bitching about parking , I think Mr. Young just stated an example of how poorly managed he feels the event is. If a losing owner said it , it might come off as sour grapes/petty. As was stated earlier Jug management has a full year to cross the T's and dot the I's to get it all right....it seems to me and others they have failed in doing so.

b2bl- The same people have been in charge for years.  They have had years to dot the i's and cross the t's and still don't get it right.  The only thing that gets done right it what they put into their pockets.  They are very good at that.

From everything that I'm reading here, I doubt that the bonus will be awarded because Young now (finally) understands that the bonus was included in the purse money & has been since last year.

I'm not doubting that there are problems with the Jug because so many regulars on here have complaints.  As I mentioned in a previous post, why not go straight to a board member, Jeff Gural?

Why didn't Young go to Gural?

After all, it is likely that between M1, VD & Tgd, you have raced at least one or two times at a Gural run track.  Seems logical to me.

My stance was taken because I knew Richard Young & have a low opinion of him, both personally & financially.  Better lucky than good, though.

You seem like one of the more honorable people & I don't doubt your opinion in the least.  I know, for example, that someone from the Jug office actually stopped a Canadian fellow (says he's been coming to the Jug for 35 years!) from selling 2 extra tickets he had for face value, warning him that was illegal in Ohio.  I don't know whether it is or isn't but that's ball-busting.

Actually there is a law but it is REALLY cause they don't like you. Just seen it a couple of times where they had undercover cops doing that. (usually it was the Indians when they made the play-offs that they did it.)

You can sell them for face value.  Things changed a bit when a father was taking his two daughters to a game, had some extra tickets and tried to give them away.

The undercover cop said at least let me give you something for them, so he said ok maybe a few bucks to buy some food/drinks for my kids.  Then he got arrested for scalping.

Actually, the state is not involved, according to what I found:

Ohio    ORC § 715.48    

Municipal corporations are authorized to regulate and license ticket resale

I know the folks in Ohio love it because it is an orgy of food, booze, drugs and sex. 

 

Thanks Hal....I have a cracked rib and I was laughing my ass off at your post

Can I skip the drugs and get seconds on all the other stuff?

PLEAZZZZE?

There is more to this story and Mr Young actually stated a redaction to his comments that was not posted in this story but WAS printed in Horseman and Fair World.

I will read it later in H&FW.  I'm really bored with it already.     Things will continue as is and I'm too old to care anyway
