Try as they may have - they couldn't make anything meaningfull happen in that regard.
The powers that be in California are hopelessly retarded. They couldn't have possibly believed even a morsel of what they were selling.
They are playing games with rates at Gulfstream.
In order for HANA to have cred - they needed DRF and TVG to help them out A LOT. DRF has done nothing for HANA - I don't think I've ever even seen HANA so much as mentioned in a DRF column or blog post. TVG has done very little - they've put Maloney and the Platt guy on TV once or twice .. but that's about it. HANA's going to have no luck sparking an Egyptian style revolution for the oppressed horseplayer.
It's a totally hopeless outlook all-around. This sport has no progress at all in its future... what happened at Santa Anita this meet illustrates that crystal clear.

Hana needs to make sure the Platt guys stays away from a microphone.
In order for them to be taken seriously, they need to find leadership that CAN be taken seriously. You put someone like Steve in there and things change really quick I bet.
