The problem with trying to use politicans to advance your cause is the danger of the pols using you to advance their agenda (often to your dismay)
If you play with fire, don't cry when you get burnt.
KY pols get interested in racing usually around the time they request a bunch of Derby boxes (comp of course) that used to go to owners and fans.
