Richiebee, I understood the partial cynicism in your post and partly agree. There is no magic bullet to racing's problems and those that feel that there is one thing that could do that are mistaken, especially if they use this as an excuse to not deal with other issues like breeding and drugs. However, it will save lives until the other aspects are dealt with and even if they are not, racing is better with it than without it. Insulin does nut cure diabetes but it continues to save lives, even if a cure is never found.
I agree that the first concern for both of us is the health and safety of the horses and riders and I will join you in advocating whatever helps them.
