Great quotes from the audio archives:

Mr. Jackson says that "we need sound breeding principles."

Congress would like to make The Jockey Club put required sound breeding practices in place. "Why won't you do that, Jockey Club?"

Because to itemize and outline breeding practices "would be arbitrary and restrictive."

But why not disallow 4 x 4 inbreeding, and prohibit breeding horses that have ever been on steroids?

Hint to Congress - because breeding isn't an exact science. For example, you can't dependably breed out stupidity from humans ....

And will the horses confess to ever having been on steroids, as they go through their first breeding soundness exam?

Jess Jackson: "eliminate medication, and you'll eliminate unsound horses. They will eliminate themselves."

Hey Jess, how will that happen? By the unsound horses breaking down on track?

LOL - Arthur Hancock complains about corrective limb procedures in foals going to sales (buyers are unawares). Then Jess Jackson complains about how vet fees have increased. A congressman asks Jess what his average vet bill is. Jess says, "Well, with all the wires and screws and corrective surgeries .... " And he's PROUD to put his name on the foals he sells.
