That's pretty f'ing funny..

If Cunningham is worried about his professional future, then he should be/have been prepared to adapt. Like anyone who is business for themselves, REGARDLESS of the industry they are in, the business world around them changes often. I am also self employed in an industry that is very volatile, there are no guarantees, just options, what we do with those options is how we succeed or fail. Being educated and versed in the options is the best way a businessman can be successful.

I'm involved in this industry ON BOTH ENDS.....it'll be easy for me to adapt on one end, but the other end is far more unpredictable....and people who know me understand what I mean...A single person could not be as invested in this game as me.....it can't happen...

I think it can. You're underestimating people.

Far be it for me to chirp in but I'll just say what I know for fact.

People on the whole are resistent to change

Polytrack smells and looks spooky, literally. I have seen it first hand.

In science, it takes time to formulate an intelligent review of a change. In other words, trial and error.

Now for my "Soap Box" statement.

The ones that are shaking in their boots mad about this are worried about how their end of the business will be affected. I can understand that. All those years you have vested in the business, knowing and understanding the ups and downs of breeding, dirt, etc etc..

Now for my "Personal" reflection

The Horse Racing world is too big with too many people in postions of power and large quanities of money to allow things to get "out of hand" concerning this polytrack business. Time will tell the tale. Let it run its course.
