Default Thoroughbred Racing League
Sign up to show your support. Certainly a step in the right direction.

Association being created by Rick Porter.

It it logical that a national governing body be run by the racehorse owners. They are the “team owners” of the sport, with the trainers being the “team managers” hired by the team owners. The racehorse owners also own the publicity rights of their horses.

Hahaha.. I just saw that as well as someone named "Scott Blasi"

However, so is Barbara Livingston, as well as a lot of other well known people.

Do with it what you will.. support it or don't.

I imagine the league's season will end around Labor Day since there are no meaningful races run after that point...

I must be missing something. Is this league a joke? I just thought it was someone trying to make things better. I guess I was wrong.

As long as owners remain strongly split on issues like lasix how do they expect for this to work?

TRL

I nominate Carson Daly as a committee member. Meetings will consist of top 10 races of the week. Which will be edited 15 second clips of races with background music provided by today's most popular artists like Cee Lo, Katy Perry, and Imagine Dragons.

There will be a studio audience and there will be a reserved seat for "Zenyatta Guy" and Michelle Yu. Michelle will provide handicapping analysis for the top 10 races of the week and will guarantee an astounding 30% win percentage.

That would simply be a minor detail compared to having no regulatory powers or facilities at which to actually run races at.

As soon as someone comes up with a workable plan that can be properly funded I will throw my blowhard support behind it 100%.
