(I’ll Love You) Til the End Of The World
This is the Way the World Ends: Not with a Bang but a Whimper

TDN – Bill Finley – On The Future of Maryland Racing, A Q & A With Corey Johnsen
With all the hoopla during the run up to the Preakness Stakes a couple of excellent articles concerning the future of the Preakness, Pimlico and thoroughbred racing in general may have slipped under your radar. Fletcher’s article in particular is compulsory reading for any person whose business is thoroughbred racing in any way, shape or form especially the government minions who think their pay cheques are guaranteed.

Phil has a question:
Was Tim Reid consulting on those big plans.
Has anyone at Horse Racing Alberta read the Fletcher article.
Has anyone at Horse Racing Alberta understood the Fletcher article.
It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.

When uncashed tickets are “purged” at the end of the fiscal year in June, those unclaimed monies go directly to the Kentucky Racing Health & Welfare Fund, which benefits in-need workers in the state’s large Thoroughbred racing industry—people who hold titles such as groom, exercise rider, hot walker, and assistant trainer. Programs include medical, dental, vision, and chiropractic care, plus contributions to a retirement plan.
