Frank:
Exceedingly well put...you eloquently stated what we have discussed privately for the past 2-3 years (Frank D. and eloquently used in the same sentence... comments?)
The 'game' has been in significant trouble for years...With the Santa Anita debacle it has now reached it's 'tipping point'. If the big 3 (Stronach/CD/NYRA) don't come to some consensus horseracing in this country WILL either A) come under some sort of Federal control or B) within 5-10 years will, as we know it, cease to exist.
