It ought to be obvious to everybody by now that SB 1072 has been a complete disaster - and that a change in direction is needed.
In my opinion, the ONLY way thoroughbred racing in California is going to generate increases in purse money is to generate increases in money BET by horseplayers on the product.
The question isn't whether or not horseplayers were right about SB 1072 being the wrong thing to do.
The question at this point should be:
What should we be doing next?
