The Jockey's Guild has mismanaged their constituent's interests for so long that they're no longer representitive of their own members. The lastest debacle involving the decision to bring in rabblerousers with their intimidation techniques rather than problemsolving horsemen with knowledge, experience, and industry respect is case in point.

They'd almost be ahead to scrap the whole mess and start from anew, if that's even feasible.
