A shameful presentation by Jess Jackson. An utter embarassment. And Arthur Hancock was nearly as bad.

Further inaccurate info from the Committee regarding breeding practices.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something here, but why is it an inherently bad thing that the industry is examined by people who aren't horse racing insiders? It's not like the racing industry has done a great job on the national level of regulating itself.

It just seems a lot of folks are dismissing the hearing as inherently bad for the sport. I don't necessarily think that is the case.

That's easy to say given what appear to be a laundry list of issues facing the game. But let me ask this... I'm all for a central, governing body for racing, but if a "league office" is such a panacea, how did steroids EVER BECOME a problem in Major League Baseball and the National Football League? Here you had powerful league offices and the issue festered for years... According to these hand-picked 'witnesses', a league office would mandate X-Y-Z and problems magically disappear. Didn't happen that way in baseball and football, did it?

I think the point is there are many school of thought on what should be done, and several are based on inaccurate information. Chuck's made me understand the drug situation better than anyone, while several people we've heard from are pretty off base. This is a complicated issue and having people express their views (which may be wrong) leading the governments inquiry takes this whole attempt off track.
Having said that, the idea is good and the weight of the government weighing in may get some good things moving forward. Spyder Quote:

As a matter of fact why wasn't Scot Waterman invited since he has been the industry's lead vet involving medication? Because he represents what the industry has done and is doing and we would not want that getting in the way of the obvious agenda here. I have been critical of the RMTC for various reasons but they are way better than what this group of politicians may create.
