Do you have a key to The Wire Room ?

[Dr Keeneland Dan @fatbaldguyracin]

Very fair article

@transit010 Did you miss the part where he spoke about lowering takeout, level playing field, new innovative wagers?

Horse racing needs better rules, clearer viewing, and a fairer experience for fans. Until the system improves, one advocate says: hold your bets. #HorseRacing #SportsReform

We appreciate Mike @RepoleStable sitting down to talk with @jonathanstettin Turned out to be a can’t miss and one of the best recent conversations in the sport. Thank you Commish Mike from Queens

PART 2 IS POSTED!!!!!

Part 1 has over 44,000 views and Part 2 is already over 20,000 views!!!!!

Thousands of comments and interactions!!!!!

Thank you, @jonathanstettin!!!!!

The problems in horse racing are so obvious, yet the lack of action to fix them is absolutely staggering.

Racing’s so-called “leadership” acts like they can only fix one problem at a time.

NEWSFLASH!!!!!

When you run a successful business, you need to be competent in sales, marketing, finance, customer service, operations, and product development. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

This isn’t some revolutionary concept. It’s Business 101. In fact, it’s how the vast majority of horse owners run their own businesses every single day!!!!!

Our sport doesn’t have a shortage of problems. It has a shortage of leadership, accountability, vision, and people willing to make real changes.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!!

Let’s F$&kin Go!!!!!

What do you think are the priorities to fix and grow this great sport???

@TonyGee43 @SwiftRABBI There are things in there that have not been posted anywhere before that are worth hearing and knowing. We’re admittedly biased but it was an outstanding discussion.

Horse racing shouldn’t make fans choose between races. A year-round schedule and staggered post times could keep the action flowing—and give every race a chance to be watched. #HorseRacing #Racing

The Breeders’ Cup settlement went unannounced—and questions remain about whether the horse was scratched too late. Transparency matters when the stakes are this high. #HorseRacing #BreedersCup

[PastTheWire.com @PastTheWire]

@Tinky47flat We don’t think that was the issue at all. Nobody is arguing scratching an unsound horse at the gate BUT if the horse was exactly as he was jogging for the Vet in the morning and nothing changed, why scratch at the gate and not in the morning? If something changed what was it?

[Thoroughbred Retirement Network of Louisiana @CDatrio26831]

Thank you Mr. Repole for supporting our efforts to take care of these horses.

A 72-hour rule can turn a measure of safety into a source of guilt. When an injured horse’s final days are shaped by a metric, the cost isn’t just numbers—it’s the weight people carry afterward. #HorseRacing #AnimalWelfare

[PastTheWire.com @PastTheWire]

Horse racing’s future depends on public trust. When betting feels unfair and racing rules seem selective, public and state support can slip away. #HorseRacing #SportsBetting

[PastTheWire.com @PastTheWire]

The Jockey Club can protect racing’s future without owning every profitable business. Keep the breed registry central; separate ventures that shape the industry and create conflicts of interest. #HorseRacing #Governance

[PastTheWire.com @PastTheWire]

Rescuing a horse is only the beginning. When ownership changes, so does control—but the blame often stays with the person who cared first. #HorseRescue #Equestrian
