Ernie Fletcher has done nothing for horseracing in KY but he certainly hasn't ruined it.
KY does not have a breeders program??? KTDF doesn't count?
Jones leaving was a loss for Ellis Park but he really never ran all that much anywhere else.
I would not consider Churchill's purses to be small.

I dont consider Zito, Pletcher etc etc KY trainers if they have a stable in KY. They move down here just for the meet. People like Woodard, Flint, Whiting Greenhill etc etc do not run (well if they do they will send 1 horse) at Keeneland and these are the people that are based in KY all year. Big names like Romans will run at Keeneland. The KTDF is a joke compared to New York's program. If you want to consider that a program then go for it. But it is a joke. Ernie Fletcher is about as bad as a politician as there can be. By doing nothing is for worse than actually trying to do something. The fall meet this year is only 24 days. If you dont think KY purses are small then you dont have high expectations.
