I can tell you I've been contacted by reporters from some of the publications mentioned because I can write things they can't.

I understand that. Ryan and I collaborated on a number of pieces over the years. He was an outstanding journalist and they gave him a lot of freedom. Eventually, the tracks/horsemen complained and he got bounced from BH. It was our loss.
There is no other industry I can think of that is so insular. It will be racing's downfall.
