Erica Murray

First run since @fairgroundsnola for SHRINER (Gormley), who comes back out of the maiden ranks @HSIndyRacing with @EricaAmazing for the Heitzmann’s. Was making his fifth career start and not for the catching at the $5k level.

Built, with jockey @EricaAmazing aboard, worked a half-mile in :49.80 Tuesday morning at @ChurchillDowns. Now that River Thames is targeting the Preakness, Built would move to No. 20 on the @KentuckyDerby preference list.

ALRIGHT DEAD EYE

The industry needs a director of fan development. An experienced, passionate hard working individual in charge of developing and executing initiatives that increase the overall interest in and genuine love of the game. Inspire those with a curiosity to become real fans that attend, bet on and inspire conversation in racing and even dabble in real racehorse ownership. We need more people like US. They're out there.

@JoeyDaKRacing @RepoleStable Couldn’t agree more Joey

It’s time!!!!! Racing needs change NOW. We need a NEW association led by the owners and trainers of this game that we all love and are passionate about. We need to turn selfish into SELFLESS and each do our part for the future of this great sport that is in poor health. The goal of this association will be to make all facets of racing better. We need to make it better and safer for horses, fans, gamblers, jockeys, trainers, owners, breeders, backstretch, tracks, etc, etc. This association will not just be focused on the top 10%, the goal is to make positive change for EVERYONE involved in the game. This seismic change doesn’t happen overnight but it has to start now if it is ever going to happen. The plan is to unite and work together with the tracks, HISA, other racing associations, and the sales companies. We all want a better sport and it’s about time we unite and leave the competition inside the racetrack not outside. Non cooperative tracks remember the owners and trainers control the entry box. 🤔 I’m asking all owners and all trainers to help lead this mission!!!!! I’m asking you all to stop talking and let’s unite for progress. Walk the talk!!!!! Here’s a sneak peak into some of the focus items we will address: Working with HISA to improve horse safety with an advisory committee of the most experienced Thoroughbred Vets with the #1 goal to protect these amazing & loving equine athletes. Working with tracks on having three surfaces if possible, turf, dirt and synthetic. If not possible push for a synthetic training track. Stand up and back 99% of the trainers who devote their lives and work extremely hard. There are cheaters, crooks, in every industry and facet of life, they make up a small percentage. Significantly increase the purses for older horses. Having it make sense for owners and trainers to bring back these older horses. Long term this will lead to breeding older and more durable horses that will strengthen the breed. Have every consignment owner, bloodstock agent, jockey agent, veterinarian, etc. licensed with not only rules and regulations but fines, suspensions and penalties for everyone involved. Fix two year old sales. Horses will be tested when entered, weeks prior to the breeze and tested post breeze. We will also ban the stupidity of a 1 furlong 9.3 breeze. I would suggest they work go 3f or just gallop only before the auction. Promote ownership through reputable racing syndicates to get more owners in the game and at the same time educate them on horse ownership. Work with both Gen Z & Millennials with national programs focusing on the future of racing that includes future trainers, fans, grooms, gamblers, owners, media, etc. We need the next generation involved if racing has a future. Educate, upgrade and innovate the gambling of this sport. Be creative, let’s think out of the box. Openly share your thoughts, comments and ideas with the industry and me. Do not hide or be afraid to speak up and share your true opinion to make the game better. If you get fired I will hire you for the new association!!!!! (Unless your name is Joe Drape) Are you willing to unite for progress??? #uniteforprogress LFG!!!!! -Mike from Queens Racing Fan thoroughbreddailynews.com/repole-its-tim…

@montbillings4 @FalconeJr This is not a hobby. This is many people’s livelihood.

@FalconeJr There is a whole world out there. Find a new hobby, The sky would not fall if horse racing ended BECAUSE all the fun IS gone.

This industry has to change in all aspects . The fun is gone .
