HEY COMMISH! YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD
Monday, April 20th, 2009By Ray Paulick
Are you happy with the job racing regulators are doing? Could these individuals who serve on commissions, boards, or government agencies, many of them as unpaid political appointees, be doing a better job? What about the paid staff at the commission level, or the racing commission stewards or veterinarians?
That’s what Ed Martin, the president of the Association of Racing Commissioners International, wants me to sound off about during a panel discussion tomorrow at the RCI’s annual convention in Lexington: what’s working and what isn’t working on the regulatory side of this struggling industry.
I’ve got my own opinions to be sure, mostly about things that aren’t working. But I want to know what you think. If you’re an owner, breeder, trainer, horseplayer, industry employee or casual fan, I’d like to know what message you think I should carry to this gathering of racing commissioners. Pretend you’re racing commissioner for a day: what are the issues most important that racing regulators can act upon? What needs addressing now?
