This opening statement wants me to quit my interest in horse racing...oh wait, she's full of sh*t! Wew, I feel better.

I think more owners are hyped up on coke that horses.

This is Jan Schakowsky (IL) speaking...

Opens with utterly error-laden remarks..


Whitfield's opening remarks.. Poorly prepared.. haphazard.. confused..

Rep. Cliff Stearns (Ocala, FL)

"Those making a fortune..." Gee Cliff... Who exactly is making "a fortune" in racing?

And why do they keep referencing "cocaine given to horses"? An obscurity designed to sensationalize undoubtedly...

They like to use simulcast as a threat don't they? 90% of revenue is pretty substantial.

"Completely bi-partisan" says Schakowsky... Yup.. They are all equally clueless about the topic.

"Completly Bipartisan" It's nice to know that horse racing has brought the Dems and Reps togther! (Beat me by a minute!)

PS: Steve thanks for the comments yesterday about Royal Ascot. Got that going as well. Interesting morning!

Believe previous Rep. was Lee Terry (NE)... Clearly a fan.

Now Joe Pitts.. Pennsylvania...

They are specifically trying to characterize ANY MEDICATION/INJECTION as ABUSE OF HORSES.
