IMO, no matter what you do you're not going to force the public to buy what they don't want. You can try to make it more attractive using some tech. But it's still horses going around a track. It will always be seen as fixed and abusive, especially now. And does the industry actually want to clean itself up? Two weeks have passed since I dropped the first bomb, really what's been done? They're waiting to see if it dies off like it always does. Russell Williams told a friend of mine he has family issues going on right now. Ok, sorry for that. But does that mean the industry sits still? Resign if you can't handle it. Actually I gotta do a topic on this.

fwiw:

If you watch the "investment" video, they do a bit with Dr. Paul Reid and he also appears as one of the heads of the Exceed Equine on their website (which is under the umbrella of "betramedical.com".  Here is his bio (I am 99% sure it is the same Dr. Reid as appears on the video..but DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH TO VERIFY!!!)

Because he got thrown out of the farm in NJ for failing to pay rent

The farm owner in NJ  says he owes him 3 years rent . Also, owes everyone in DE a fortune, close to 1 million and just bounced 50 checks. The facility he is stabled at is a real shit hole.  . Llopez ( his old trainer) says he owes him 500K that he personally loaned him when in NJ. Now I am being told the horses dont belong to him they are owned by a russian gangster .  The guy is a total failure.
