CtC,
The title, "But Not on Derby Day" was used for a specific reason. Not only are they not sure they are going to put these procedures in place for the Derby but there also about 9 or 10 other Graded Stakes that are run that week. There are about three or four Grade Ones on Derby Day. What is the hold up??
I don't want to speak for anyone else but there are others who have had dealings with some of the Bluebloods of Central Kentucky and they like to give you the feeling they are better than you are. Derby Day for decades used to consist of the Derby and bunch of $5,000 claiming races. It was a take it or leave attitude. Tom Meeker wisely changed that.
With Susan Bunning, (KHBPA rep), proposing her Ten Year Drug Study and Power Broker Attorney J. Bruce Miller (KHBPA legal rep) filling up the re-election campaigns of every politician from Paducah to Ashland, the chance of any positive legislation coming from this COULD BE spiked harder and faster than a football after a T.O. touchdown.
These guys need to know that EVERYBODY IS WATCHING.
