Thanks!
I know how hard BONC has been working in virtual secrecy to get everyone together and really make this happen. Stop for a minute and think about it...Did anyone think this possible a month ago? That some type of progress could be made this quickly? Just getting the attention of many of these people is a major accomplishment.
I believe that every person who signed the original petition, participated in the buycotts and who has followed the threads in this category all share in this achievement, but BONC has really put over a coup by bringing these people to the conference. You would be surprised at how many people whom you would expect to be on our side have turned a deaf ear.
Thanks and best of luck, BONC! Great work 
PA, thanks for allowing everyone to use your forum to advance this cause

Way to go.......
Nice work BONC I can only hope whatever resolutions or answers come from
this conference...can somehow be implimented....I am sure there will be some
suits that will balk at any resolutions....did Daruty agree to agree or disagree
with the solutions....How about Woodbine? and others......? Many hands
to shake to get complete agreement....I repeat many...
A tremendous first step to be sure ---but just 1 step...journey is not over..
I may sound like a party pooper but hard to believe it will be that easy to
get complete agreement...hope I am wrong..............

It's not that easy, Stuball, far from it, but getting everyone's attention and participation means a lot. I'm not a very diplomatic person, but I realize the importance of hearing all sides and know that this conference will not bring any type of closure to the issues...But...it is great progress

Thanks!

Virtual secrecy-did anyone know Speedking has been writing press releases since this began? 
Everyone thinks this is complex. It's not. Remember the petition.
.
We demand that all licensed racetracks, simulcast facilities and ADWs
be accorded immediate access to all simulcast signals at rates that are fair and equitable to all, the tracks, the horseman, and the players. Let the customers decide who to reward with their business.
.
It's simple-sell the signal.

BONC, excellent work.
Speaking of the petition, where is the Jockey Club in all of this, especially now that you appear to be closely the gap?

Allen Marzelli president of the Jockey Club has publicly called for urgent action. I had occasion to speak with him briefly a few weeks ago and it's my opinion that he wants this over as much as we do.

A few weeks ago is all well and good. But what about now -- today -- are they actively persuing any action to help resolve the situation? Or are they waiting for other parties like BONC to make things happen?

Nothing new here. It's the mushroom theory of news management all over again.
