(Jamma) In 2013 the Trot raced for 2 months for free. Worried and committed to chasing the money that has been stolen from us and that arrives with a dropper, someone is also taking out our wallet and we are not even realizing it. It is the complaint that comes from the Italian Horse Racing Entrepreneurs through the words of Enrico Tuci. “Al Trotto – he explained – in the first 8 months of the year only 31 million Euros were distributed, exactly what should have been distributed in 6 months!
We recall that the sector's budget of 250 million resulted in a jackpot of only 115 million which, reduced by the "rubbishness" decree, became 102. In the meantime, ask yourself how the other 135 million are used, perhaps to organize the payment system, anti-doping and horse racing promotion?
But let's go on, the trot has 60% or 61 million, as of August 31st they have only put 31 on the post.
We are well aware that some important racetracks will open, but does anyone believe that 30 million will be awarded in the next 4 months?
As usual, no explanation and no response from the Palazzo, the programming is secret and improvised, meanwhile the technical level of the races is falling and their credibility is reaching rock bottom. Evidently the Ministry likes Corse with 2 horses. The important thing is to save. But for whom?
Foals, these strangers! The racing programming for the two years is completely neglected and ridiculously equipped. In 2013, trotter foals are entitled to around 5 million Euros. Only 529.000 were distributed in July and August. Over the next few months, the two years would receive over a million a month! Do you believe it? Go and see the programming and the equipment of these days and do a quick count. The important thing is to save. But why?
Breeder awards, everything on the contrary! If you are the breeder of a good horse that wins in Vincennes or Solvalla you won't get a Euro. If you are the breeder of a mediocre foal that wins in Civitanova Marche you will get 20%. It's called Ministerial Meritocracy.
All of this highlights the total lack of transparency, information and technical guidance in the sector. We are on a bus without a driver”.
