@yyzsportsmedia “its” … no apostrophe.

Great news!!!!!

The ban on transporting horses to slaughter passed a House Committee last night and will be voted on in a bigger House bill in the near future.

Today is a monumental day, not just for Thoroughbreds, but for all horses. There is still a lot of work to do to get this across the finish line, but this was a massive and very important first step.

Thank you to Chris Heyde and Pat Cummings of the National Thoroughbred Alliance for their relentless persistence and hard work.

If we really want change, we CAN make change happen. If we are willing to put in the effort, we CAN GET THINGS DONE.

We got involved earlier this year when it became crystal clear that, after decades, key industry entities were not producing results.

Today is a great day for Thoroughbreds and all horses, but it also saddens me to think about how many horses could have been saved from a cruel ending if the so-called leaders of our sport had acted with more urgency years ago.

This is what happens when people stop talking and start doing.

My former colleague @simmonssteve has the balls to ask pertinent questions. Reporters aren’t cheerleaders. They’re not guidance councillors. When he says he talked to 20 or so prominent NHL people, he talked to them. Takes heat for doing his job correctly #LeafsForever

Mats is the beard. Chayka is the bad husband, Pelley is the cuck. Haven't had so much fun watching a presser since Eagleson accused me of beating my wife.

Pelley In A Pinch: Retread Or ReThink?
In Vancouver Mike Gills was an iconoclast first, last and in-between. He helped give Vancouver the greatest team it had ever had. In his 2021 proposal Gillis described his model franchise as “best-in-class, championship organization on and off the ice.” We are guessing that sounds just about right for Leafs Nation. We’ll know by the draft if that’s the Leafs’ formula, too. https://t.co/kF0tH6kSdP

@simmonssteve Timing was everything for the GM.

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@DannySpxp Excellent.

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@MarchMadnessMBB How is this play not called for an over the back foul? First he pushes off. Then he’s got a forearm over the defender’s back as leverage before going over him for the tip-in. Ref let down #longhorns

🚨MUST READ LETTER BELOW!!!!!

Thanks so much @AronWellman7 and @EclipseTBP.

In this industry, it takes REAL courage to speak up and challenge the pheasant hunting, old boys club mentality that’s been holding racing back for decades.

I’m grateful for everyone who’s standing with me. This isn’t about ego or headlines, it’s about FIXING racing and SAVING it for future generations.

Let me be crystal clear: we need EVERY voice. Silence is how the status quo survives.

Right now there are two sides:
- The people who actually care about the future of this sport
- The self-serving power structure led by the @jockeyclub

Comment. Like. Repost. Make your voice HEARD and show the world where you stand.

Whose side are you on???

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@GolfweekNichols Ominous start for the commissioner.

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@LPGA @NellyKorda @HiltonGrandVac Difficult to imagine a worse look when you allow the mostly make celebs to play (no matter they’re on the Stableford) while determining the conditions are too harsh for the (frail?) pros.

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@GeneSteratore One step, two step, down by contact

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

There is absolutely no difference between this play and the Buffalo play. Adams did not make any move. He caught it, secured it as he was tackled and then stripped on the ground. Same exact thing. Same exact. This is why fans hate the NFL refs. No consistency game to game

[Richard Sherman @RSherman_25]

I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch. Even as a DB you know that if it’s even a Tie it will go to the WR. Can’t believe this decided the game.

[Joe Buck @Buck]

If anyone wants a clear view of the NFL playoff picture - here’s what I’ll have in front of me during the MNF game tonight in Atlanta.

@WoodbineComms @WoodbineTB Sometimes more explanation is warranted. What happened at the far end of the track? Was a jockey at fault (the other horse finished riderless)? Ramifications? Bobcaygeon was walking on his own, albeit limping -- really necessary to euthanize? Who made the call as "catastrophic"?

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@DavidC7997 @Ken_Rosenthal Thanks

[Tom Maloney @toallfields]

@Ken_Rosenthal what’s the story on Bieber’s contract. Keep hearing he’s a pending free agent. Is he not signed for $16-million thru ‘26?

@ShiDavidi Should they not start him rather than the tiring Yesavage?
