I'm sure Lou would be welcome back at Suffolk in some capacity as they attempt their umpteenth resurrection. He was at the helm during their most recent run of success in the mid and late 90's. Any word on his plans, Steve?

Since he's seen both sides of the issues here in MD, I wouldn't mind seeing Lou become the Executive Sec of the MD Horseman's Association. Current office holder, Wayne Wright, does a poor job in my opinion. Come to think of it, I'm not a big fan of Richard Hoffberger, President of MD Horseman's Association, either. I don't think any of these guys have done a decent enough job in representing the horsemen. Lots of money making ideas that they never seem to pursue. They only have one focus - slots.

 It's frustrating to see some of the things that go on here in MD when you know that with a little more insight and effort, it could be somewhat different. Lots of blown smoke up the old backside by too many racing officials here for way too many years. I'm sure it's the same way everywhere.......

From the Bloodhorse website: (http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=42272)
"Despite the challenges, Dragone believes Maryland racing still has a lot to offer. “Obviously, every day you have the Preakness in the back of your mind because it’s such a big event,” he said of the middle jewel of the Triple Crown. “And we are still running races here year-round. We are going to get the message out that there are still some great opportunities here.” " Ahhhhemmm - Mr. Dragone - you might want to check the racing calendar in Maryland before you make stupid comments. MD hasn't raced year-round since Colonial Downs opened years ago. MD racing stops from mid- June until mid-Aug. Nice start.....
