Racing isn’t drying up in my opinion. It’s definitely a fact that we have too many tracks across North America.
Racing needs to shrink its footprint and offer a better product with bigger fields sizes at selected big market cities.
We need to get this industry into the hands of the horsemen again with a different vision.
Gutted is an understatement. One of the finest human beings I’ve ever known. Mike Doyle helped so many people including me. Humble and always there to lean on. My sincere condolences to Diedre, Marshall, Melissa and the kids. #RIP DUDE. Catch you in the next winners circle.
I feel bad for the grooms and hot walkers who love and cherish their horses and have to read all this negativity about horse racing. Please have your opinions you’re entitled. Also know, there’s a lot of humans behind the scenes that love these animals and have dedicated their lives for little money, to look after them. It’s been a bad few days, but I personally want to say. Many of us know the truth and we thank you.
