According to USTA, she’s not licensed as a trainer any more.

But NYSGC has her licensed through 2/26/20, so go figure.

This is exactly what is wrong with racing. Here we have USTA and SC who are basically glorified charting services and you have to belong to them to race. Then you have all the State Racing commissions and Provincial commissions who are supposed to test but really do nothing and you need to be licenced by them to race, talk about redundancy. There is only one chance to get out of this mess and that is with ONE COMMISSIONER who oversees racing in North America and even if we get this far it still be too late. IMO the tracks are going to start closing at an alarming rate and no track will be too big to fail including Meadowlands and WEG.

Ice, I have been hearing this one ruling body for some time. Let's say we finally have that one Zarr with universal rules and regulations. How will this make more harness fans? How will this get more people to the track? How will will this grow handle?

 Czar, I like the sound of that title, I could wear me a monocle and give orders

I could do for horsemen around the globe what I did for the horsemen of the Yonker

Keep me in mind, I am interested

Ice, you are older than dirt. So, you know that racing in NY used to be very much like this. You could not enter a horse unless you and your horse was approved. A driver could not race unless he was approved. No "P" drivers. Every horse on race day had a pre-race blood screen, done by the lab, on the grounds. Post race 5 of 8 horses in the race were tested with an additional blood draw and urine, in races with trifecta wagering. In all others it was first and second finishers as well as a beaten favourite and a random.
 As for police action, there were a good number of scandals that led to criminal charges. Most of this was funded by the state's piece of the handle. The state back then would get a 7% cut of a couple million in handle. Today, the state gets next to nothing and cares next to nothing about a micro revenue stream that cost them big bucks if they do their job.
 Comparing harness racing in America to racing in Hong Kong Secretariat to Zippy Chippy. Yea they are both race horses but...

Competition for greater returns to the state. Lotto, Lottery, scratch-offs, OTB , simulcasting... All cheaper and better returning investments to the state.
