This letter originally appeared on the Walking L Companies website and is republished in the TDN unedited and with permission. I believe that we are all involved in whichever corner of the Thoroughbred Racing Industry we each occupy because of our love first and foremost for the HORSES and that we all want to see racing grow and thrive for decades to come. Of course, there are many problems and challenges within our industry and many things that we need to fix in order for it to continue, let alone grow. There are many individuals and groups that focus on one problem or another and many that address a variety of them within their jurisdictions or regions. We all can, and must, discuss our industry's problems, challenges, and opportunities and share ideas and work on good solutions to each of them–it is our obligation.
