Well said Vic....Get your commission and make sure you protect it on-going.
There are many out there who do not understand the role of the visionary, founders, evangelists of new ideas and companies and will see them simply as middle me with their hands out. Protect what you are doing.You are clearly the founder and evangelist for this venture.
Regarding Diodoro, the only track I follow where he has horses is Turf Paradise. I love going too the paddock to watch horses being saddled. I spent many winters in Phoenix and one thing I noticed about RD. He had the largest staff, they all where dressed neatly with Diodoro Stable shirts, and they kept every horse cool in the hot weather. Cleaning off the foam and sweat while in the stall and wiping the foam from their mouths. Most of the other horses would stand in their stalls dripping sweat.
I always felt he was successful due to his help and care for his horses.
Maybe I am wrong because I don't follow Oakland etc. but that is my opinion.
