I am not just seeing the real issues being addressed. IMO, this is more about "agenda" and furthering same, than it is about opening up some Interstate Act so that the Federal Government can "regulate" and run racing, or whatever you want to call it. OTOH, while we don't want a Federal body to do so, I have not seen enough done on a state level and on a "self policing" level.

Personally, I am sick and tired of committees, reports, studies, data and anything that remotely resembles any of these. Enough already.

This game is not about the bettors. It's not about the owners. Not the breeders, trainers, jocks, vets, and so on. People just don't get it -- it's about all of them, everybody, together, as an industry and as a sport.

If we don't see the factions and the fractionalization stop the cannibalism then shame on all of us.
