![]() TSG is doing their all to make NYRA Racing Great Again. What owner in their right mind would succumb to this fabricated nonsense?
You chase the respected and highly competent superintendent out, the track gets screwed up, horses die, you spin the issue away from management errors, and lo and behold you ruin your business. The entry box at Belmont BETTER be bloated. |

Don't get me wrong. I'm not claiming that lasix caused these breakdowns. I'm simply saying that these changes were long overdue. This current crisis gives them the impetus to start making the changes that will save the sport. I think these changes will be a huge positive in the long run. In the short run, I don't know what will happen. Some trainers are threatening to leave Southern California. I don't know if they are bluffing or not. If a few do in fact leave, it won't be a problem. But if too many leave, it will be a big problem because there will be a horse shortage, which would hurt field size. We know that small fields are very bad for business. |

Hi, honey its time to sell the house and move the family, is not going to be the most chosen option. TSG moved the goalposts(clever); they have a nightmare issue in a liberal state where the government looks at racing with discern. So they manufactured a PR story to change the narrative from dead horses because THEY screwed up, too we love the pretty horses and are going to make sure we protect them. |

![]() I just received this e-mail from National Turf 5 minutes ago: "BULLETIN:
Stronach Group reaches deal with horsemen. Racing resumes at Santa Anita on Friday, Mar. 22." I don't know any of the details. That was all it said. |

![]() Here is a little more info on the deal: "Santa Anita is now scheduled to resume racing on Friday and a planned introduction of the elimination of Lasix will begin with next year’s crop of 2-year-olds under a deal hammered out by representations of Santa Anita and the Thoroughbred Owners of California on Saturday."

California is using the controlled THERAPUETIC MEDICATION protocols of NUMP and has what is considered the best testing in the country. If you're anti-Lasix, fine.. say that. But there's nothing in these 'actions' in terms of the MEDICATIONS that 'improves the sport'. In fact, they put horses at greater risk, to say nothing of the unintended consequences.

I'd also like to hear what exactly you think any of these alleged medication-related innovations will do to stop the actual cheaters? All they do in reality is give the cheaters a BIGGER advantage. And, simultaneously, cost owners MORE (not less like Rupert insanely suggests)..
