The visit was well-intentioned, and I think everyone who listened got even more of an insight into the situation the game faces than could possibly have been expected.
Needless to say, the majority of us don't think she came off well. While this is an oversimplification of what she said, I don't think a quality solution to the problem is to stop speaking publicly about it. In fact, logicly, the exact opposite is true, therefore I question how seriously she takes the issue (especially due to the fact that she is quite successful the way the game is being played now). In fact, her big thing was that Dutrow was not hurting any horses, which is fine and commendable, but it doesn't address the competitive edge, or lack of level playing field issues.
