mera,

but I'm not just talking about jockey's. all backstretch workers. Actually, I'm not really talking about jockeys at all since I wouldn't think they'd even be considered an employee of the trainer (since they work for various trainers).

I know about the mismanagement scandals...and taking for personal gain. Is this what you're talking about "education?" That's a mess, true, but obviously that was a lack of oversight...right? If there were sufficient oversight, couldn't it work? Isn't the general idea of an umbrella policy for backstretch workers at least a convincing from the perspective of supporting employees while trainers are serving suspensions??
