List of Issues

The intention of a "List of Racing Issues" is to collect and document issues within the horse racing industry - anything at all that can be improved should be included.

The issues can be discussed, debated, clarified, and simplified online by posting comments to the original issue and everything will be kept in the comment log as archived history so please don't post rude comments. This will allow us all to better understand the issues that the racing industry faces WITHOUT the added pressure of trying to fix them.

Later when some change is being considered, we can point back to this list and say "it fixes that, that, that, and that" (referring to items on our list of issues). Each issue will have a discussion log (history) so we won't need to rehash the details over and over again - it'll be written done.

So if you have an issue - ANY ISSUE AT ALL - describe it in an email to MaurieDanko@gmail.com and i'll post it here for others to add comments to. Please tell your friends about this effort and lets generate some interesting content.

Thanks MaurieDanko@gmail.com

To read an issue and its comments (discussion history) simply click on its title and scroll down to see everything said in the discussion. To read a group of issues, click the summary group label to read just those issues.

Racing equipment safety 

There needs to be a way to insure all on track participants are safe.  Race Bikes need to be decommissioned after a certain reasonable life span as should harness.
I had a bike collapse at the head of the lane in 2004.  Was going to win
too.  I watched Chris Johnson driving a trotter by the trail 2 weeks ago at
Hiawatha when a line broke behind the starting gate.  I watched Al Cullen
drive a horse with a rubber bit that broke in two...pretty scary.  Its bad
for the betting public to witness and potentially very costly to everyone if
a few horses go down.
