Why is there not a National Commissioner to run horse racing like in every other sport. I am an owner in a MLS soccer team. Don Garber is our Commissioner and he runs just about everything at a macro level. Of course, the virus is a big and important topic at the moment. He is guiding the league. The same with the Astros and Red Sox. The Commissioner took an action albeit weak in my opinion. Those involved are fortunate the FBI wasn't involved in that one... .
Local racing commissions and state-run political groups and race track owners are seldom aligned in what is best for the industry as a whole. It has always been "the Wild Wild West." In this case it took the FBI and the FDA to step in and make them criminal charges instead of the historically weak bans and fines and appeals.
