Arthur and Staci Hancock of Stone Farm, Roy and Gretchen Jackson of Lael Stable, and Augustin Stable owner George Strawbridge Jr. issued a two-page statement May 4 appealing for widespread support of the Interstate Horse Racing Improvement Ac twhich was filed in Congress that same day.
“In our opinion, this is the only way to end this terrible blight on American racing and to bring us in line with the rest of the world,” the letter continued. “We have been disappointed time after time over the years by promises, platitudes, and good intentions. Now, here is a way to stop the madness once and for all.”

Well i ain't rich or a big owner or breeder but i will stand behind it too,for the horses.If all of us the little ones,the silent majority stand up and be counted it should work...that is what is needed.But that is not the only thing,going to the track should be fun,not boring to attract younger crowd,and more.
The sport and industry survive not only because of the champions that are remembered forever but also because of the losers that are so easy to forget...
