Martin’s contention the industry can’t properly deal with security and investigation didn’t sit well with Bill Fasy, chief operating officer of Delaware Park. The track is a member of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, which oversees the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau.
The TRPB is headed by a former FBI investigator.
Fasy, who attended the NCLGS conference, asked Martin if he was saying the TRPB isn’t qualified, and Martin said individuals associated with the group don’t have “technical expertise.”
“They have the technical expertise that has uncovered things, and they have been on the leading edge of investigations (in the pari-mutuel industry),” Fasy said.
What Mr. Fasy does not seem to understand is that there are huge holes. If there were more current practices and technology put into place, the job of the TRPB would be facilitated and the confidence level of the punters would rise.
As it is now, he's just another "old fart" that is part and parcel of the problem. Get out of the way Mr. Fasy and let those that are capable of solving the problem to so. You're just an obstructionist.
