Racing needs more voices speaking out about the game. Ray's recent articles about the other Jackson, involving unethical practices in the horse sales, were especially good and a great step for Bloodhorse.

must have missed the crist article...so my applause to him as well. they danced around the issue a bit the other day on t.v., but seemed as tho no one really wanted to be critical--at least i felt that was the case. and yeah, it does help that we agree (well, me and you to this point, i must read on...). i just feel, after all the attention and a congressional hearing, that it would be in the guilds best interest to find the absolute BEST person they could. i feel they failed, and failed the jockeys as a result. maybe i will read a point of view different from mine, with reasons why i'm wrong....i really wouldn't mind being wrong about this!
