If trainers have leeway to administer unprescribed meds when vets aren't around, the whole industry is a fraud

You mean the industry IS a fraud the way it’s been policed by the states and racing commissions. But that’s all about to change once HISA steps in. I look forward to that day sooner than later. Then and only then will harness racing be worthwhile to watch, bet and participate in again.
Johnny Johnson fucked up Chicago harness racing. I hope you die !!!!

I don't think even HISA can keep this ship from eventually sinking.  I hope I'm wrong, but if casino handouts ever stop, lock the doors!

Harness racing can’t afford to not have HISA. It’s literally the only chance it has of survival. Whatever the cost it’s well worth it if it sVes the sport from extinction.

I predict harness racing will never have HISA & will do just fine.

There is a very serious problem. Period. States, racing commissions, track ownership/management, and other organizations have failed to resolve the problem, and/or even address it. Period. The first person who goes through the door always gets bloodied. The solution, whatever it is, whatever it begins as, whatever it ends up being, is always a work-in-progress. It always has bumps in the road, fixes, revisions, adapt, react, and so forth. It's never perfect. It's progress not perfection. Growing pains, hiccups, and so on. In the end, it works out. If it doesn't then it's not the end. HISA was necessary because other efforts, other reform, other solutions were not happening or forthcoming.

The USTA said a lot. They did nothing. Perhaps because they were unable. Doesn't matter. But they had a lot to say about someone/something else that not only tried, but did something. All they did was oppose and criticize. Nothing more than hecklers from the stands. Don't be a heckler. Get in the game! Something, a lot had to be done. Those who did nothing always have a lot to say when someone else actually does something.It is nothing more than criticism. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better and sometimes that in and of itself is progress.

So, it's ok 90% of purses are welfare but you can't afford a few dollars to mind the welfare cheats?

Like that?
