As you know, only seven two year olds raced with Lasix last year and the Hambletonian has been raced withoutLasix since the beginning. With racing under siege because of the deaths at Santa Anita and the fact that almost all of the major thoroughbreds have adopted much stiffer requirements other than Monmouth we would think that the horsemen would view this asa gesture on our part to the public to show that the health of the horses is a vital concern. By opposing this essentially we are doing just the opposite which is a very risky strategy. I am quite certain that by next year the Federal Government will havetaken over because the current system is not working as your members are well aware. Hopefully the opposition is not because your members are using Lasix to mask other drugs but it seems very strange that the SBOA would oppose this. It is not my intent toadvocate the banning of Lasix for overnight racing I just want to make a statement that we do feel strongly about the fact that our horses should be protected. If I am unable to persuade the SBOA to drop their opposition it would be my intention to cancelthe Kindergarten Classic next year along with the Meadowlands Pace in 2021. I think we should be working together and not fighting with each other and I really am disappointed that the SBOA does not understand how critical this issue is from a public relationsstandpoi nt. There are far more animal lovers in America than there are horse racing enthusiasts especially now that they see the catastrophic death rate in the thoroughbred game.

Uncle Harry ... "GO AHEAD,CANCEL EVERY FUCKING RACE YOU HAVE, I DONT GIVE A SHIT. I ,AS I ALREADY DO, WILL TAKE MY HORSES ELSEWHERE TO RACE, BECAUSE OF YOU."Are you open to the potential that if the tracks don't take care of the issues and the government decides to get involved, you could end up with nowhere to take your horses?
Typical asshole that thinks he is something special and has to write in capital letters to make a point.
IN HIS EMAIL HE STATES THAT MAYBE THEY SHOULD WORK TOGETHER AND NOT FIGHT,MAYBE HE SHOULD JUST DROP ALL THIS NONSENSE ABOUT LASIX AND LEAVE IT TO COMMISSION AND VETERINARIANS WHO KNOW WAY MORE THAN HIM AND LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE, MAYBE HE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER WITH SBOA AND NOT FIGHT THEM.
Jeffrey cares less about owners and bettors now than ever. - It really does not matter if he believes any of the things he says about cleaning up the sport. He just needs to keep saying it. Eventually, the politicians will tire of seeing two NY tracks less than 30 miles away take 100% of the Slot market share.
