Your show blew away any of the other BS I see on TVG. The people who run TVG could learn a lot on how to put on a show that real race fans can appreciate. It's funny how the trainer suspensions/joke thing came up on the show and today Dutrow got a whopping 7 day suspension. Keep up the good work.

Pete..

Thanks very much.. I've thought that with 15 hours a week of airtime there is a lot we can do to be an advocate for real improvement in the game, and as an outlet for horsemen and important voices like those we had Wednesday, we're at least trying to be pro-active.

Can't wait to listen to the other 2 hours.

Steve, you've done yoemans service to the game in organizing this program. I thank you .

Thanks PG.. It seems that Jerry Brown's suggestions have particularly hit home.. As crazy as 'JB' can be, he may be on to something that players will support, though Andy Beyer didn't agree. I spoke to Brown after the show and he said he'll urge Beyer to get behind the potential boycott if it comes to a boycott...

Matt-O,

Thanks buddy! And thanks for urging everyone to listen with the other post. I know that what was discussed Wednesday may not be for everyone, as race fans have varying degrees of interest and levels of commitment to the game's existence and future. But if people want to learn why we are where we are and what needs to be addressed to slow or reverse the erosion, these three hours would be a great place to start.
