Another day @keenelandracing with 10 Regulatory Vet scratches. Embarrassing for the sport. I brought 10 new fans today and they’re shocked asking me questions about how the sport is falling apart. I’m going to continue to be vocal for all horsemen

[Interstellar Thoroughbreds @InterstellarTb]

Epic!

Seven years old, 25 career starts, over $7.7 million in earnings and still delivering on the big stage! WHITE ABARRIO wins the G2 Oaklawn Handicap under @iradortiz for trainer @SaffieJosephJr.

We are thrilled and honored to acquire this magnificent colt. We believe this son of Flightline is a generational opportunity #OBSApril #Flightline

@RepoleStable @stoolpresidente Less virtue signaling, more science. There’s no logic to the Breeders Cup having 3x the scratch rate of claiming horses at Parx

@KennyMcPeek Is there a mechanism to suspend a regulatory veterinarian who is abusing his power and bad at his job pending a review of his employment status?

[Track Phantom @TrackPhantom]

For those who want horse racing to cling to tradition—like the current spacing of the Triple Crown races—it’s time for a reality check. If the sport were thriving, I’d agree: leave it alone. But it’s not. Times change. Fan interests evolve. Even the way horses are bred and trained has shifted. The sport has to adapt.

The Kentucky Derby, and by extension, the Triple Crown, is racing’s one true chance to break into the mainstream. That means every effort should be made to maximize excitement and engagement around those three races.

Adjusting the spacing is just the beginning. Why not introduce purse bonuses for horses that compete in all three legs? Or make the Derby draw more compelling by allowing post-position selection based on Derby points standingsm giving the top-ranked horse first choice down through the field, with ties settled by draw? Expanding the points system itself could also add intrigue throughout the prep season.

There are plenty of ways to elevate interest and modernize the series—if the industry is willing to collaborate.

Which, of course, is the real challenge.

I’m losing my optimism about Horseracing. State vet’s situation in Kentucky is ridiculous. The sport gives Media rights to 3rd party that won’t open up viewing. HISA failing to align rules or even licensing. Department of Labor terrorizing Trainers. Jockeys can’t use whips.
I’ve devoted my entire life to the sport and I’ve watched it lose viewership annually. I’ve Invested in helping grow the sport while enduring pushback from entities more worried about their market share than growing an industry.
I’ll retire June 30,2034 sell all my equipment and properties. Likely to never look back. Unless @RepoleStable can shake the tree for change, I’m doubtful.
I’ll see you at the races or Not.
