Woolley has been a surprise to everyone who has encountered him. He's bright, articulate and in touch with the current state of the game. Just because he also happens to be a Southwesten version of a hardboot, doesn't mean he doesn't have something to contribute.

Please enlighten us how millions of people losing millions of dollars in an idiot box helps horse racing.. Oh I guess you mean the inflated purses for a few years till the folks are broke and the state has to bail them out with welfare food stamps and free medical and legal fees. Horse racing thrived when it was one of the very few gambling options.. More gambling dollars spent on ancillary products can never be a good long term solution. Less dates, less horses and consequently less folks in the business is the answer..Its just a bitter pill to swallow but it is the long term I care about not some inflated overnight purse for chemists to get horses hopped up for..
