This is hardly a earth shaking revelation on my part, but it strikes me how difficult it is for horseplayers to get relevant racing information from the various tracks.
Whether it's each track's policies/practices on use and detection of drugs, acceptance of robotic/batch betting, timing of pari-mutuel pool closings, time related to beaten lengths in the official charts, vet scratch procedures, etc., etc., the lack of official and public information from the tracks makes one wonder if there is a conspiracy to keep horseplayers in the dark.
You would think the NTRA would be the repository for such information on a track by track basis but they appear to be basically powerless in their dealings with the tracks.....i.e.,their task force report recommendations from 2 or 3 years ago are largely unacted upon by the tracks.

Why are we horseplayers putting up with this?

It is time! Horse Players Unite Now!!!!

Where do I pay my dues!!!
