You have reason to be proud. Unfortunately,if the rules of racing in nearby
states such as Illinois and Kentucky remain much more lax, the owners/trainers
who want to continue to cheat will eventually migrate to those venues, where
their entries will be accepted with open arms. This is why Racing needs uniform
rules for all states.

The comparisons between Baseball and Racing have been made here numerous times.
Marcus has pointed out that Baseball has come under close Congressional
scrutiny, mainly due to its exemption from federal anti-trust laws. Baseball
has one man who is responsible for the stewardship of the sport, for better or
worse.

All Racing has had in terms of national leadership is a succession of marketing
groups who have tried to sell the sport (not too successfully)but have not
tried to improve it.
