Nancy Tatkers bullshit letter

[pocketrocketwinner]

She's speaking to the importance of gambling.
Calls for the coordination between tracks.
Race  Bet   Race   Bet    Race   Bet    ......    no overlap and minimal time between races.


What do the passionate gamblers on this site think of that?

Nothing matters except that takeout is grossly overpriced and not close to competitive in the gambling industry.
She doesnt even mention that and that is all that matters. No other ideas stand a chance until the product is priced competitively

Hard to be exact with so many factors.  Weather, inquiries, photos, etc would make it hard to be perfect but some coordination could help things and compete less with each others.

I wonder if she is even aware of the differing takeout ratios in different forms of gambling.

I like the part where she says the cheaters and chemists have to go, and that something needs to be done to ensure a safe retirement for the horses.

Agree or not, hypocrisy and criticism is innate. Maybe due to space limitations, I think Nancy has oversimplified, understated, and missed the target on several points. Doesn't matter. I can't help but think she is lacking a lot in experience and depth/scope of knowledge. This is about the sport, and the business. Trainers will only represent one perspective. Sure, Nancy's name will get some attention. But her stature in the industry simply isn't there. I also think her performance, results, and the like have nothing to do with having an opinion on this or the validity of it.

I somewhat agree on your perception of Nancy but I think to an extent she realizes her limitations and is calling for help and looking for guidance. She knows the industry needs experience and leadership in many different areas.  I don't see this going anywhere but I appreciate the initiative.
