i think we're witnessing the death of the jockeys guild. seems some places (philly park for one) are taking care of themselves, as the guild seems unwilling/unable.
At this point the death of the guild might be a good idea for all involved.

the guild may live until.... Gary Birzers lawsuit! Who's going to foot that... the guild could live for another 10years and not be able to pay Birzer! Once Gary wins (which to me is a no brainer) other jocks could follow.. I believe there are at least 3 more jocks with life shattering injuries!

It's just sad that the very organization you think is protecting you is the one you have to eventually sue for your survival. Gary should be able to sue Gertmenian directly but we all know that can't happen.

Now Manley and JJ(Jesse Jackson) will use a guy like Gary Birzer as a pawn in their negotiations. It's a damm shame. JV needs to wake up. Dave Stevenson, where are you? We need you.

they kicked Dave right in the choppers! they led him to believe he was in the running... then turned around and did this... they're minds were made up for some time...
Gary Birzer won't let them use him... he has been hurt to much as it is. What a mess!
