Shanahan, good for you. I’ll gladly join you in pledging my support. I know the members of my Yahoo Horses and Racing Forum would do so as well.
Jerry makes a good point that change will not come from the industry. It must be imposed from either law enforcement or pressure from those who are the financial support for the sport/industry – the bettors.
I’m heartened to hear that there are those in the game that care and that a boycott has worked in the past.
Jerry, I hear what you’re saying about organizing bettors being a formidable task for any one man to do. I would not begrudge you the hard-earned free time you enjoy. However, you have a strong reputation in the sport and even in a limited role as consultant or spokesperson could have a profound influence. Count me and whatever Forum members I can recruit to support you in whatever capacity you decide you can contribute.
Bob
