We tried something different and it did not work, the horses were withdrawn. It is amusing to poke at accountability when you hide your identity. Finally, Patty's Pride won the Ricks at RP against a good field and yes she was born and raised here. There are three in the group that I believe are just...

Had lunch with my old boss, visited with a few TRAO board members, and compared notes with their situation and ours. Yes, it was like a reunion of sorts. The folks have not changed and the slots driven purses have not solved many of the problems in their industry. The information provided to them ab...

Money to lobbyists! It is a GOP Gov, House, and Senate and the lobbyists that the associations are paying are Dems!! The associations supported the opponents of the Gov, Lt. Gov, etc and again; who does this really make sense to. The only success in the election process was the deceitful ads used in...

Have been working farm issues and have not been following the forum for a few months. Eatons Gift arrived on Monday and I believe he is the most accomplished sprinter to hit Texas in a couple of decades. The letter that G2W refers to was sent out and signed by me in support of some of the candidates...

The 25 million to build the track is just a number to garnish support for their pin-hooking endeavors. No one held a gun to their head to apply for those licenses and by applying for them you are making a commitment to do something with them. They are a monopoly simply because they are all regulated...

The only way to acheive a level playing field with the surrounding states is to eliminated the big population advantage and economic advantage Texas has. The biggest drain out of the purse structure is not people running over to LA, Ok, or NM to play slots. It is the continuous flow of money over th...

For someone wanting the job to represent the membership, you are plainly stating your loyalty to the slots or nothing agenda and the racetrack license pinhookers. There is no other agency that would grant a license for 20 years and not revoke it for non-compliance! The TRC has hopefully got the supp...

G2W#3or#2; not clear which one you are on this post. If you wish to give me a call, I will fill in some of the blanks for you. If not, have a good Thanksgiving and may all your horses cross the finish or time line in fine fashion.

Mrs. Haynes, You know I am limited on what I can say in public and I know it was not you. I gave you the way to find it out for yourself and that is the best I can do on the forum. If you wish to call, I will be glad to discuss it with you. Again, your support was key in getting TB dates at SHRP and...

Ajo, you were identified by one of the clients and I have no reason to not believe you were not there. Second, this is a breeding farm and not a Veterinary facility and we are not required to keep medical records and do not. Veterinarians that work under contract work under herd numbers and not indi...

Ok Ajo, simple questions then. Was it not you with Lane Hutchins posting signs and handing out flyer's at Retama Park a year ago stating that I had cost folks their jobs by testifying in front of the TRC? Was it not you that said you would not breed at Key Ranch for whatever reason and finally was i...

Liar, Liar, Liar, is the way you should start out all of your posts concerning Key. It does not matter what is in the transcripts of the TRC or what the truth is to others, you have not responded completely to Tinners Way post concerning the vote that was not a vote or the absolute vicious attacks y...

From what I understand it is still not over, it was just interesting reading for the folks. As far as unity goes, the unity was slots or nothing and it succeeded in getting nothing to complete the decade of incompetence. It almost succeeded in reducing the racing opportunity and the thoroughbred ind...

A little cut and paste from another forum. Sound famaliar? justathought, I do understand what you are getting out but I believe you are overreacting. As you are aware Texas H.O.R.S.E. is an organization comprised of of several Equine organizations with The AQHA, APHA, NCHA, TTPHA being the largest. ...

I am a bit surprised that since the bulk of the initial 50k funding to Texas horse was by the board members at the time from the TTA. Where was the initial funding from all the other associations listed on the Texas Horse website drawn from, where did the other money come from, and what does the TTA...
