Is the TOC preparing to stick it to horseplayers again?

Do you know what happened to that effort?

Apparently, it must have fizzled out.

Why does the TOC have so much influence over or with the CHRB? Harris was once the chair and Moss was(is) a long time member. Billion$ are wagered and spent by the betting public every year. There should be no questions of integrity or complying with fiduciary duties in operating this thing we call horse racing.

I did read parts of the Horse Racing Act of 1978, was this the intent because people can submit amendments to correct unintentional results?

For some reason, trainers and owners run the game in California, the track owners just sit back and let the inmates run the asylum. Santa Anita is owned by a horsemen so he "Sympathizes" with those who "put on the show"

Everyone that had anything to do with this should be forced to bet the lion's share of their dough in to this 22.68% take-out of their own making. See how they like it.
Then, we could bet with each other, without any take-out, on who would last the longest.
