I maybe wrong but never knew this association existed.
30 years on and what has this Association achieved if the punters are still stuck at the bottom of the chain. If it was vociferous enough then by now it would have brought the racing fraternity to its knees (or tried).

I expect changes to be ongoing in this industry and this has to happen by changing the archaic rules that have been printed in rules and regulations and nobody has gone back to check.
I don't think some the administrators know or can comprehend/interpret what is/are contained in some the racing regulations.

royal president its a long story that had good results for a while, as you know people slip back to old habits very quickly if you dont stay on top of things and I did not have the time to baby sit,

we also met with a lot of resistance, i am still victimised for standing up to the superior beings that fail the industry to this very day,

we could very easily have put the game on its knees but that has never been my intention, however when Flaming Gun was disqualified we did stop the race day from continuing after the 4th race by protesting on the course,

most of the objectives we wanted are still not implemented and some of the same issues raise their ugly head from time to time costing the game loyal followers who cross over to sports betting. much more I can add to this subject but its going nowhere because only those that risk like punters really want fair play in the game, idiots who end up in power positions rise through the buddy buddy system and only try enrich themselves and when the chips are down and its time to call a spade a spade very few have the guts to stand and be counted, bullies rule
