Mike, slightly over the top comment that doctors, police, firemen and teachers are starving.

I must have missed it.    What is Tigger's real name?

[seriously]

Just tuned in!   Sounds great and will listen from the beginning after it finishes.   

Honestly, top notch!

Seriously, stop with the denial that there are actually issues and the industry cannot continue to stay on life support. Remember no one person is going to change anything. It has to be a united front or you will be tossed. And how do you spur the interest of two generations of people who want nothing to do with something like harness racing. I compare it to music, who dictates truly successful artists? Teenagers and twenty somethings. That I give the slimmest of chances. Racing is what racing is.

I agree with Mike, the effort based on the interested parties is dying off and the current would not likely be drawn in, all efforts would likely be futile.  Worth a try and better than slots and what the fuck the current bs is.

It has to self sustain, no more racino, state money, CAW, so you have to clean it up - on track, off track, everything including the regulatory and supporting organizations, bring it to rock solid integrity, invest a lot to lure the gamblers in - heavy marketing, guaranteed pools, major entertainment pre / post venue / off racing venue.

Zero tolerance peds, race tampering, state of the art testing.

Complete transparency, vet reports, interviewing trainers, drivers pre and post race, they should be part of the analysis and seek to make money through larger purses if the game is truly self sustaining and not be involved in gambling.  No trainer or driver or owner or anyone involved should be allowed to gamble, hard to regulate but it must be made an enforceable rule.  Just like when company's have sweepstakes no employee, family member...

How the fuck can you talk nearly and hour and not breath...amazing! you have gills? 

[Papillon]

I felt Rocco sounded 100% sincere and enjoyed hearing the stories of all the people he interacted with over the decades and the history of Illinois racing through his experiences.

Mike was excellent as usual hosting his show--there is no lying in him and anyone who is against him is either a cheater or friends with one or more. Surely many don't like the way he goes about exposing people but all he is doing is bringing attention to facts that were already made public and  were mostly swept under the rug.

...looking forward to the next show

[dougie]

I agree 100% Papillon.
