Yes, I brought up the problem and as with Steve's site PA requires registration for good reason. I asked the admin about a way to allow non-registered people to sign and he didn't see an easy solution.

Dual thread is a good idea (with Steve's and PA Admin permission). I'll follow that up.

Thanks, Scav

It is a good idea but the Jockey Club doesn't have much to do with this. They just register horses and make up stupid rules about silks.

CS,

I think the hope is for some visibility (any visibility!). Distribution certainly doesn't have to stop there (we know industry types are reading PA's board for instance). Seems that the interest of a few are being protected and a lot of us (horsemen, owners, players) are getting jerked around. It's a start anyway.

I agree that you have to start somewhere. Send a copy to guys like Gary West (the writer not the owner) and Andy Beyer and maybe they can drum up a little support.

We should seriously consider a boycott and plan it on just a regular day, like a Thursday, where everyone just takes it off and does something. It we make it like three months out, I guarantee it would hurt them a little bit.

Maybe this is my calling, BOYCOTT PLANNER

LOL...It was hilarious, Million Night I was taking a back road to go get my buddy who was hammered, taken the trip like 5-10 times RECENTLY. Ended up in Barrington which was about 20 miles west of where I was suppose to be

Great idea!

ceejay, I am giong to start working on it actually. I am bored. I know of a couple other places and I am going to put a post on as many board as possible.

1) Derby Trail
2) Track Champion
3) Pace Advantage
4) Barn to Wire
5) Thoroughbrednet.us

Any others would be greatly appreciated. What I want to do is do it when both Tracknet and TVG has tracks running so it can kill both of them, show them the power that we possibly have. It is only going to work if thousands do it and do it for the whole day. I think a Thursday is perfect because people will not do it on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday but they will give it up for one day on Thursday.

I like that! I'll get on it this evening. Hope to catch you at the barn this week!

Thanks Chuck,
