[Repole Stable @RepoleStable]

Thank you, Dan Wolken!!!!!

Two powerful articles this week and both hit exactly where this industry needs to be challenged.

The first broke down the wagering mess and the impact of CAW bettors on everyday horseplayers.

The second (below) dives into our 3-year fight to push for REAL, transformational change not just to grow the game, but to save it and make it relevant again.

And what did many of the so called “senior leaders” of the entities that control racing do this week???

They HID.

They avoided the very mainstream media that can force accountability and shine a light on the truth.

We’re running toward the fire.
They’re running from the fire they created!!!!

Yesterday’s Commissioner “State of the Union” press conference???
A HUGE step forward in getting the message out to the mainstream.

Where’s Waldo (Repole)???

LFG!!!!! 🐎💪

@elonmusk All the agenda filled, pointed questions about how long it takes to charge, etc. are quite amusing. The only people with a negative opinion on EV’s are those who’ve never had one.

I will never buy another gas vehicle, or one that can’t drive itself ever again.

[James Blackwell @JamesBlackwell]

@elonmusk So Disappointing! My Model S is the best car I’ve ever owned!

@WilliamShatner Wow, You take that many 500 mile single day road trips in a week/month/year for this to be a real concern?…How about the fact that when you charge at home, you wake up every morning with a full “tank of gas”?

[Repole Stable @RepoleStable]

Thank you to everyone for the texts, calls, emails, messages and posts.

Yesterday’s post clearly struck a major nerve with the hardworking participants of horse racing. And honestly, it should.

Because what we’re uncovering is not only complete bullshit, it’s the kind of blatant conflict of interest and self-dealing that has held this industry back for decades.

And here’s another interesting fact.

The President and CEO of Keeneland from 2012 to 2020 was Bill Thomason.

What exactly were Mr. Thomason’s qualifications to run one of the most important institutions in horse racing for nearly a decade???

Well, Mr. Thomason is the brother-in-law of Bill Lear!!!!! 😡 🤦‍♂️

Yes the same Bill Lear who sits as a steward of The Jockey Club, is a trustee of Keeneland, and whose firm has represented multiple powerful racing organizations.

Nothing to see here, right???

The hardworking horsemen and women of this industry deserve transparency, fairness, and leadership that puts the sport FIRST!!!!!

Not this BS!!!!!

And to the @jockeyclub pheasant hunters……you might want to start thinking about how orange looks on you.

The People’s Commissioner.

What do you guys think???

It’s interesting how a lot of News Organizations have tied the withdrawal of insurance for heavy tankers going through the Straight of Hormuz being the actual mechanism creating the blockade of Naval Traffic.

Trump has since said the U.S. Navy may escort the tankers if necessary…Which leads me to the question of whether the U.S. Government would then also have to offer to insure the ships as well…

Which brings me to the question of what could Dubai do to alleviate concerns of the International Horsemen if they try to go forward with the World Cup this year.

[WESTLAKE RACING STABLE @westlakeracing]

DAY 32: IF YOU LEAD, ACT LIKE IT.

THE HORSE CAN’T ASK, WE CAN.

Thirty-two days.

Thirty-two days of silence.

While the sport contracts.
While foal crops decline.
While owners exit.
While costs explode.
While aftercare depends on hope instead of structure.

Organization by organization…answer.

THE JOCKEY CLUB @jockeyclub

You hold roughly $40M in liquid investments.

• Where is the capital deployment plan?
• What is the reserve target and who decided it?
• Why does executive compensation exceed grantmaking?
• Why are struggling jurisdictions not receiving stabilization funding?
• Why no permanent, structured aftercare funding mechanism?
• Were members informed before the $1.85M HISA loan forgiveness occurred?
• Do members vote on major financial decisions, yes or no?
• Have you formally contacted Mike Repole and Aron Wellman to schedule a structured aftercare funding meeting?
• Will that meeting occur on or before March 21?
• If not …explain why.

You can publish public letters.
You can issue criticism.

Why can’t you publish a capital plan with numbers and deadlines?

HISA @hisa_us

You are now an approximately $78M per year regulator.

• Why has the annual budget grown to approximately $78M?
• Where is the measurable return on that spending?
• How many full-time employees are on payroll?
• How much was borrowed?
• How much was repaid?
• How much was forgiven (approximately $2M)?
• Who approved the forgiveness?
• Was the @FTC informed?
• Did executives and/or employees fly first class?
• Has first-class travel stopped, yes or no?
• Will full travel receipts be released?
• Why was over $4 million sent to T-Soft Technologies in Toronto?
• Was there a competitive RFP process?
• Who approved that vendor?

BREEDERS’ CUP @BreedersCup

You hold over $109M in reserves.

• What triggers deployment of that capital?
• What percentage directly supports aftercare?
• Why no national growth campaign?
• Where is the industry reinvestment roadmap?
•What happened to the $2.3M loan to HISA that has vanished off public records?

Capital grows.
Transparency shrinks.
Confidence erodes.

Day 32.

March 21 is approaching.

This moment defines leadership.

REFORM IS COMING!
REPOST AND SPEAK UP!
