@GOP_is_Gutless Grandpa’s free advice? Do you really follow what’s going on in the world or do you repost what the TV tells you?

[Repole Stable @RepoleStable]

The New York State Gaming Commission @NYSGamingComm is everything that is wrong with horse racing regulation.

In my opinion, they are incompetent, inflexible, arrogant, and completely disconnected from the people and horses they are supposed to serve.

Todd Pletcher was just suspended 10 days over an issue that would not even be a violation under today's tougher national rules.

Think about that.

As we were negotiating in good faith and making progress, the rules changed, stubbornness moved in, and then common sense left the room.

This should have been resolved years ago.

Instead, bureaucracy won.

Egos won.

Taxpayer-funded lawyers won.

The sport lost.

Then they tried to bully me into submission.

Bad move. 😂

I have spent my entire life betting on myself, fighting for what I believe in, and standing up to people who think a government title gives them the right to push others around.

This case will continue as long as necessary.

If that means going all the way to the Supreme Court, so be it.

What's truly amazing is how much taxpayer money New York is willing to waste defending a position that makes no sense in today's environment.

Horse racing has enough problems already.

The horses deserve better.

The owners deserve better.

The trainers deserve better.

The jockeys deserve better.

The grooms, hotwalkers, exercise riders, veterinarians, breeders, farms, and backstretch workers deserve better.

And the horseplayers and gamblers who help fund this sport deserve better.

Saratoga is a great place to race. Expensive, but great.

But Todd, myself, and many others do not need the Belmont Park and New York Gaming nonsense that comes with doing business in New York.

New York just spent, most likely wasted,  more than $500 million building a new racetrack @TheNYRA.

Yet the arrogance of New York regulators continues to drive away the very people who invest in the sport.

Owners have choices.

Trainers have choices.

Horsemen have choices.

States have choices.

Kentucky understands that horse racing is about horses and people.

We can easily just run for MORE money at @ChurchillDowns and one of its other tracks with 1/2 the expenses. 

Too often New York acts like horse racing is about regulators and power.

That arrogance is leading to exactly what it deserves.

A costly, beautiful, new EMPTY building, with fewer horses.

Fewer owners.

Fewer trainers.

Fewer bettors.

Fewer customers.

And fewer reasons for people to come.

Other than major stakes races, Todd and I are seriously questioning how much year round support we want to give New York racing.

In all honesty, racing here hasn’t been much fun. Todd and I are both far from perfect 😂, but we really try to well represent New York racing and all racing in general.

Horse racing doesn't need more bureaucracy.

Horse racing doesn't need more politics.

Horse racing needs leadership.

And New York desperately needs some.

F$&k them.

Your beloved Commisioner,
Mike from Queens

BREAKING: 51 DAYS OF SILENCE IN HORSE RACING.

DAY 51: STILL NO ANSWERS.

Since January 27th the day @JockeyClub issued an open letter publicly criticizing @RepoleStable a moment that drew significant industry attention and raised even more questions, we’ve asked about 100 direct questions to:
@JockeyClub
@BreedersCup
@HISA_US

And now, to the power structure behind it all… including attorney William “Bill” Lear who, by his own record, represents The Jockey Club, Breeders’ Cup, and Keeneland, serves as a Steward and Trustee within that same system, and was a principal draftsman of HISA itself.

One individual. Multiple roles. Across the same ecosystem.
Stakeholders deserve to understand how that structure avoids conflicts and why no one will address it.

Perhaps Mr. Lear can answer these questions given his roles and representations across all sides of this structure.

51 days later:
Not one real answer.
Not one transparent response.
Not one moment of accountability.

Let that sink in.

These weren’t soft questions.

They were about:
• Where the money is going
• Who is getting paid and how much
• Why millions sit unused while the industry struggles
• Loans, missing disclosures, and repayment questions
• Who actually controls the sport
• Why aftercare still lacks real long-term funding
• And whether conflicts of interest are driving decisions

Instead, what do stakeholders get?

Silence.
Deflection.
Scripted statements.
Buffet lunch speeches with zero substance.

Meanwhile:
The money keeps flowing in.
The insiders stay in control.
And the people funding this sport get ignored.

This is no longer a communication issue. It’s a leadership and accountability crisis.

So here’s the question that still hasn’t been answered:

Who is horse racing actually being run for?

Because it’s not the owners.
Not the trainers.
Not the breeders.
Not the bettors.
Not the fans.
Not the horses.

51 days. Over a hundred questions and the silence is getting louder.

We’re not stopping. And neither are the questions.

REFORM IS COMING. REPOST AND SPEAK OUT!
