&lt;p&gt;Not sure what the answer is right now to racings many problems but as long as everyone is trying to work TOGETHER to solve them then there is hope that progress will be made, however slowly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course horse racing lovers in high places would be a help. &amp;nbsp;There is truth in the old saying it is not what you know but who you know!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God Bless&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best wishes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abbie&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;we have to adjust the legal aspect of gaming/gambling better facilitate the consumer. &amp;nbsp;By painting ourselves into a corner with layered legislation we will create a greater use of a more convenient service. &amp;nbsp;this could be the last act of stupidity!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alex, with all due respect this seems like the minimum that the Racing Industry should expect from it&amp;#39;s leadership. Pardon me if I don&amp;#39;t pat you or others at the NTRA on the back for doing less than 1/2 the job. Surely there&amp;#39;s more that would benefit racing that could be put on the table. Why are you (or should we be) satisfied with so little?!&lt;/p&gt;
