Disagree.  Most people on the associations look out for themselves and a select few. And most are on the take and couldn’t care less about the best interests of regular Horsemen.
And sadly the horsemen keep voting for them

I don't see anyone who is a member standing up to any of them. Horsemen have NO representation. The board is populated with the people that need to be gone. In the REAL world, horsemen have a barrier between them and the governing body. Any of those other sports leagues a NOT FOR PROFIT 501c6? You're fucking clueless to make those comparisons. Professional sports league players have the power to shut down the whole sport in times of negotiation if they are dissatisfied. Get it???  ngc3
The horsemen could easily shut down the entire industry if they wanted to. But too many only care for themselves

More horsemen would stand up and speak if they had a true leader representing their voice.

Someone in the business that has something to lose!

Who could we nominate?

I’ve said many times if they boycott the entry box or all scratch their horses out of races with people on the list, the show would stop until something is corrected.  People would have to start answering questions when you’re getting four or five or six scratches a race.

None of the trainers are going to risk losing money by boycotting the entry box.

There will never be unity. And that's why the people with power laugh.
Now the question is, just how far do I want to go with this???
