When I first came to NYRA in 2008 and was given free rein from Charlie Hayward to make changes on Talking Horses as well as the pre-race prattles, I said that within a year all the other tracks would copy our use of replays and trainer stats. Nobody can ever accuse me of occasionally being overly optimistic, but things did eventually change at some tracks over the next decade, so there is that.
I believe that there is a great shared love of racing by many of us here. That doesn't mean we don't understand the myriad of issues that it faces, but ultimately I think anyone would like to try to affect any positive change that is possible for them. No one person can fix everything, but by focusing on what you can do as an individual, it's important to at least do whatever you can within your purview.
