He is a big horse race fan and very knowledgeable about the sport, which did surprise me. He reviewed all the people on the list and reviewed in detail the agenda. Some of the witnesses include Jess Jackson, Randy Moss, Richard Shapiro, Jack Van Berg, Allan Marcell, Arthur Hancock and quite a few from the vet/medical side...Alex Waldrop and Ali Concord were the only names I could get.
A big part of their focus he said was going to be on the health and well fair of low level claimers at smaller tracks, what is their care like, should they be running and what happens to them after they don't run anymore. He specifically brought up Ask The Lord as an example of a horse that will be reviewed.
He welcomes e-mails and opinions at Christian.Fjeld@mail.house.gov
Steve...I think you should try and get him on the show..well spoken, knowledgeable and not a witch hunt, at least that I could tell |
I may have asked him if they were going to focus on the smaller tracks than why not actually invite someone who may know what the hell is going on there instead of the people named? I may have also asked why did they seemingly only invite people who have come out in public on one side of the issue?
