Who would you consider the leaders to be? Are you talking about notable trainers and jockies? I am not really sure what the CEO of the NTRA does. I would say that maybe the sport could use some sort of national figurehead/commissioner, but I am guessing that he would have no jurisdiction when it came to giving days and fines. Someone who could be a national spokesman and give the sport a face that would be recognized with horse racing.
