Am I the only one that missed this post-derby? I was planning on getting my BC ticket arrangements done next week. Now...not so much. Has the June meeting taken place yet? No wonder racing is in trouble.

Probably.

But in truth, does it matter? What exactly does the NTRA do that helps the industry on a serious level? It's a joke of an organization.

The NTRA is even less relevant than the UN.

I have a HUGE problem with that for both political and personal reasons. That aside, the SUPPOSSED premier track/entity in the nation dropping out of the only "recognized" authority and clearinghouse for the sport shows how fragmented and destitute things are. IMO.

I'd say it does a hell of a lot more than CDI (and this isn't sour grapes, I did not look OR bet on CD today).
