Task Force Chair John Van Lindt will join me on ATR at 4:15 today...
Considering how loud and long many people complain about government involvement in racing, this Task Force's work should be absolutely cheered. Instead of another phony posturing designed to protect the patronage hierarchy that the OTB Corporation represents, this Task Force listened to EVERYBODY and rewarded them with calls for important and substantive changes that would vastly improve the OTB operation and put the benefit back into this public benefit enterprise.
I'm totally impressed with what they've done here and hope even half of what they call for is implemented...
