The piece would serve better in the Wall Street Journal, the NYTimes, the NYPost, and every other major racing publication and newspaper in the country where racing has a stake.

Do they even cover racing anymore? Washington Post no longer carries the stuff from Laurel Park.

The more I think about it, the more I think slots will be the death of the industry.

They want to promote jockeys ala the NBA? this is the kind of stuff Executive Assistants at PR firms come up with over lunch. "Hey what about the NBA? Yeah I see a connection here."

They ought to take that jockey cam and put it on them in the jock's room when they play poker. "Oh look DOminguez made his flush. THere's no way Jara can get away from this hand."
