I’m familiar with Beckwith, Leonardi, Wilsey and Hoover - what did the rest of them do?

Is this real? Bob Bongiorno is scum. A cheater who I believe got a 10 year suspension. For his next act the classless Bongiorno ripped off many in the sport.

Kerry Karkos was a millionaire enthusiast who enjoyed driving his own horses. Not a drop of larceny in his blood. Your list is flawed.

  • dougie: IIB, I think the mayor will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The optics on this issue is bad for the horse carriage industry. Animal activists are adept to using the media to enlist horror and anger by the public.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: It's now a bill with city council. Public hearings will be scheduled then the council votes on it. If passed it's sent to the Mayor to sign into law. He has already said he's in. Marte just took over, Bob Holden is the actual author of the bill who retired last year.

  • dougie: IIB, I have been reading some of the work Councilman Marte has been doing on this issue. I think he might be successful with passing the 'Ryders Law" Bill this time around. The image of the horse dead on the street has even been seen here everywhere. If the animal activists can get this on the ballot, who knows how the vote will go.
