We will see what happens at this meeting, if anything, and then move forward with boycott day. My guess is that we can really do some damage.

After the presentations, National Thoroughbred Racing Association president and CEO Alex Waldrop said the organization has no plan to form a task force to study ADW, although the matter has been discussed. He said the NTRA believes “progress is being made behind the scenes.”

Looks like it is going to take a boycott. Hopefully enough take part to actually get the message across.

I like the idea of a "procott" rather than a boycott. In other words, pick a small pool distributed with equal access, and bet into it showing our strength.

Ceejay, do me a favor and post over there something to the effect of "Fail to plan, plan to fail" meaning we can't do this procott next week, we need to advertise this for a couple weeks to get all involved.

Personally, I am on middle ground regarding a procott to a boycott. I do like the idea of betting ALBQ for a day, but what will that really show. A COMPLETE BOYCOTT of online wagering for a day will hurt them and 'hurt' is unfortunetly the only way to get people's attention now days
