 At this stage I think the last thing the racing industry needs -- nationwide -- is more factionalization. It is not good for the industry in any way, shape or form. I do hope it's meaningless -- with NO ramifications.

 Ad Hoc committees can be powerful depending who is on them.  But basically the "gov't" will do what they want and ignore an independent ad hoc.
