I must say, Barbara Banke is a real positive for this sport and we are lucky to have her voice trying to move it forward.
Banke: ‘Craft Our Narrative And Rebuild The Foundation Of Integrity’ Through Federal Legislation
by Barbara Banke | 08.13.2017
Some may say that the horse industry does not need more regulation. I say that we need to replace the patchwork of conflicting medication regulations and standards with a single comprehensive scheme that will enhance public trust of racing.
The age we live in is not the age we leave behind and each day we wait is opportunity wasted. I would rather be talking with you today about the competitive field of the Travers or the Breeders' Cup; it would be easier to imagine and far less fraught with controversy. I'm here to talk about this opportunity here and now to move this industry forward.
