ATTN: ALL HORSE RACING STAKEHOLDERS. WOW!
“95% AGREEMENT”…100% WHIFF BY DOBSON

The Jockey Club Chairman Everett Dobson went on the Thoroughbred Daily News and said about he and Mike Repole:

“We agree on 95% of the issues.”

That’s his claim.

So if you agree on 95% of:
• Growing the sport
• Marketing the sport
• Aftercare
• The declining foal crop

Then answer this:

WHY HAS NOTHING CHANGED?

Dobson also says:

“I’m willing to meet with him at any time.” That’s not what happened.

Instead of continuing dialogue,
The Jockey Club chose to publish an attack letter against Mike Repole on January 27th in the Paulick Report.

That wasn’t leadership. That was a deliberate escalation.

Then he says things became “challenging” because of legal threats.

NO.

Let’s be clear:

• You created it.
• You went public.
• You shut down dialogue.
• You forced the situation.

And now…here we go again.

Dobson doesn’t show up for real conversations.

He shows up at buffet luncheons, controlled rooms, friendly crowds, zero accountability.

That’s not leadership.

THAT’S THEATER!

Now let’s talk about what he said in the actual interview:

He claims The Jockey Club doesn’t have the money to solve all the sport’s problems.

That’s a non-answer.

But when you’re sitting on $40 MILLION PLUS…

And doing almost nothing with it…People are tired of the same excuse:

Hoard now. Explain later.

Then comes the close of the interview…the SAFE Act.

Dobson says they’re going to “keep pushing.”

Keep pushing?

Let’s be honest.

They’ve never pushed the way they should have. And I have first-hand knowledge of that.

I’ve flown to Washington, D.C. on my dime 15–20 times to personally meet with members of Congress on the SAFE Act.

Not once have I seen anyone from The Jockey Club or any mention of The Jockey Club’s involvement.

NOT ONCE!

And based on that interview, it showed.

He wasn’t prepared.
He didn’t know the details.

Which raises a bigger question:

Who is advising him? Because someone is feeding him bad information.

The reality is simple:

The @jockeyclub has been weak. Very weak on the issue of horse slaughter and the SAFE Act.

That’s not opinion.

That’s what the record shows.

And the final question of the interview?…Same old spin.

Because at the end of the day…He has no real answer.

No plan.
No urgency.
No execution.

Just recycled talking points.

Meanwhile, what do we get?

• TikTok series
• Podcasts
• PR narratives
• Mare cap debates

While the sport continues to decline.

Let’s call this what it is:

Not disagreement.
Not complexity.

INACTION.

If you agree with Repole on 95%…

Then stop talking.

ACT.

Because right now, the only thing growing isn’t the sport.

It’s The Jockey Club’s bank account.

REPOST if you’re tired of:

Excuses
PR spin
And leadership that never shows up when it actually matters

REFORM IS COMING!

DAY 75 CONTINUED: THE KING OF HOARDING AKA THE BREEDERS CUP

While the industry fights for survival.
While smaller jurisdictions are hanging by a thread
While aftercare organizations are stretched to the limit.

@BreedersCup is sitting on roughly $120 MILLION.

A stock and bond portfolio that has grown by $66 million over the last decade.

And yet…

In 2024, Breeders Cup Charities provided just $355 in grants.

Not $355,000.
Not even close.
Three hundred fifty-five dollars.

At that level, it’s not just inadequate…it’s almost symbolic.

So let’s ask the questions they won’t answer:

• What were the loans to HISA?
• What were the terms?
• Who approved them?
• Why are they still undisclosed?
• What happened to the @hisa_us loans in 2025?

Meanwhile, what does the industry actually receive?

• Piecemeal aftercare announcements
• Occasional PR-driven initiatives
• No proportional reinvestment into the sport

This isn’t stewardship.

This is hoarding.

An organization built on the success of this industry is now stockpiling wealth while the foundation beneath it weakens.

At some point, this becomes bigger than optics…It becomes a question of purpose.

Who is Breeders’ Cup actually serving?

Because sitting on $120 million while distributing $355 back through its charitable arm isn’t strategy…

It’s abdication of responsibility.

Release the HISA loan details.
Explain the reserve strategy.
Show the industry where the money is going.

Or just admit it:

This isn’t about supporting racing.
It’s about protecting the balance sheet.

And people are starting to connect the dots.

REFORM IS COMING! REPOST AND SPEAK OUT.

[WESTLAKE RACING STABLE @westlakeracing]

ATTN. ALL HORSE RACING STAKEHOLDERS, 70 PLUS DAYS OF SILENCE. NOW COMES THE “TRANSPARENCY”?

We are fully in favor of horse safety.

In fact, very few have done more than we have when it comes to pushing legislation and real reform to protect horses.

That’s exactly why this matters.

@hisa_us announces a “transparent” Town Hall on April 21.

April 21?
After 70 plus days of silence?

Let’s stop pretending this is transparency. This is managed optics after sustained pressure.

If HISA wanted transparency, the answers would already be public.

Instead, stakeholders are told to wait… again.

So let’s be clear, these are not requests.

These are questions that should have already been answered:

• Who approved the $3,400 round-trip first class airfare to Del Mar opening day, and how many more like it are still buried?

• Exactly how much first-class travel was incurred in 2025, and why is it still undisclosed?

• How many stays at L’Auberge, Fairmont, Langham, St. Regis, The Breakers, Four Seasons, and what’s the total spend? Why ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ luxury on our dime?

• Why are 2025 financials still being withheld from the very people funding this operation?

• What actually happened to the Breeders’ Cup loans, where did the money go, and who approved it?

• How much has been paid to Canadian tech company T Soft, and what deliverables justify it?

• Why is T Soft tied to a residential address, and who signed off on the $4M plus expenditure, and how much was spent in 2025?

• What due diligence was performed before awarding that contract, specifically?

• Are there conflicts of interest, including involving counsel like Bill Lear, yes or no?

• Who is conducting an independent audit, name them, and where are the findings?

• Why do so many participants question whether due process even exists under HISA?

• Why were direct questions ignored for over two months?

• And for true transparency, will a representative from the @FTC be present at the Town Hall?

Because here’s the reality:

This isn’t about one Town Hall.
It’s about a pattern, delay, deflection, and selective disclosure.

A real transparent organization doesn’t:

• hide financials
• dodge questions
• delay answers for months
• or curate which questions get airtime

So let’s raise the standard:

Will every single question be answered, live, unfiltered, and on the record? Because above are my questions, in advance of the town hall, which you have had ample time to address.

Or will April 21 be another tightly managed performance?

No spin. No scripts. No omissions.

Because if HISA still refuses to fully answer, then this isn’t a transparency issue.

It’s a trust problem.

And trust, once lost, doesn’t come back with a Town Hall.

REFORM IS COMING! REPOST AND SPEAK OUT.

@courierjournal Lisa found out dealing with Churchill wasn’t like bullying horse trainers😅😅

[Repole Stable @RepoleStable]

After @PatCummingsNTA and I watched Everett Dobson talk about “unity” and “collaboration” at the HBPA Conference, I said to Pat… you know what, let’s give this one last real shot.

So we did.

I had my attorneys send a letter to the @jockeyclub attorneys.

Not complicated.
Sit down. One room. One full day.
Let’s put everything on the table and actually fix this sport.

We gave them 48 hours to respond.

It’s now been over a week.

Crickets. 🦗

No response.
No respect.
No interest.

Sadly, it’s exactly what I expected.

Here’s what we offered…

All the Stewards.
Jim Gagliano.
Me.
Pat Cummings.
Aron Wellman.
And a real group of industry leaders across every part of the sport… track operators, trainers, aftercare, breeders, etc.

One full day.
No hiding.
No excuses.
No bullshit.

If all that talk about “unity” meant anything…this is an automatic yes.

But it’s not.

Because they don’t want unity.
They don’t want collaboration.
They don’t want transparency.

They want control.
They want silence.
They want the same broken system that’s been dragging this sport down for decades.

So let me be crystal clear…

This was it.

The last good faith effort.

They ignored it.

Now we move forward…and we’re going on offense at a whole different level.

If there’s any real media left in this sport that actually gives a damn, ask the @jockeyclub why they’re afraid to sit in a room and answer real questions from real people???

This has been going on for 3+ years.

I’m not going anywhere.

This fight is for all of us.

What do you think???

@DRFLivingston He never lost at Saratoga and no horse alive would have beaten him that day. Thanks Barbara for posting.
