We have seen big names and many alliances. Lets it on. Probably their synonym for committee and it sounds more active. Ho hum. Waldrop is reformer who has seized the opportunity to push the pack forward. Step up and speak out on behalf of the athletes that make the NTRA run. Wake me when they actually do something ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz. Tommy Thompson, who also served as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for President George The NTRA is proslaughter since it is not against it.

On its own initiative, the NTRA has taken great step forward in committing to reforms and the creation of the Safety and Integrity Alliance evolved over the last several months from series of closeddoor meetings and confidential discussion document circulated throughout the industry and published in the Paulick Report in July.

The best example is Pinnacle Racecourse.

Dont me wrong, Im happy to see the NTRA take some kind of action however, the distinct feeling that there is lot of tip toeing around hot topics such as horse slaughter. Thompson, former fourterm Governor of Wisconsin and Secretary of Health and Human Services for President George Bush and made brief run for the presidential nomination of the Republican Party.Thompson will be charged with independently monitoring the program and annually providing public reports on the progress the Alliance has made in meeting its goals.

The AQHA, shameless promoter of massbreeding and slaughter itself must be behind these reforms which are about controlling public outcry and doing the minimum to keep insiders in control and Congress out. The NTRA has retained the services of former Wisconsin Gov. Faith Says 15th, at pm Fool me once, shame on me. The NTRA is proslaughter since it is not against it. As such, the health and safety of our horses and the integrity of our sport are our highest priorities.

Waldrop is reformer who has seized the opportunity to push the pack forward. The NTRA is proslaughter since it is not against it. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS feed. We know that the job is never done where safety is concerned. The more things change the more they stay the same. Fool me twice, three, four, five times, shame on the industry.

They are certainly listening to what fans are saying and trying to respond, so hopefully we will see some results. know all too well what happens at the track. Full disclosure Tommy Thompson is relative of Mr. The part was particularly pleased about was that there will be regular report card issued by that team to assess how benchmarks are being and that those reports will be independent. Heres hoping the first report card is good one.

While its always nice to shoutout from the industry particularly his message that we want real reform not, not just slogans, without plan to move forward, it becomes empty egostroking to little end.

Full disclosure Tommy Thompson is relative of Mr. The NTRA needs the AQHAs money for lobbying efforts. Based on what Ive seen so far and after speaking to both Waldrop and Thompson, think we will see some results. October27Beware the KelpieBreeders Cup Whats Next? Just The Surface?

Many of the initial goals relate to drugs, injury prevention and retirement which, for once, is not difficult trifecta to bet and NTRA CEO Alex Waldrop emphasized that the rollout of certification to the various organizations will be completed in phased approach and also noted that feedback from bloggers and other fans had been taken into account. Full disclosure Tommy Thompson is relative of Mr. am still skeptical. Superfecta, think youd be very surprised by the numbers of thoroughbreds that put on the slaughter truck. We could go on and on. Thanks again for the discussion.

Theres ton of work left to be done, and dont think Alex or anyone else is in selfcongratulatory mode. Full disclosure Tommy Thompson is relative of Mr. Superfecta, think youd be very surprised by the numbers of thoroughbreds that put on the KBs truck. To have the backing of AAEP who is also pro slaughter does not make me feel good about the nuts and bolts of the NTRAs plan. You can bet Ill be putting the NTRAs feet to the fire and holding them accountable.

Many racetracks and state jurisdictions have adopted reforms, and Breeders Cup Ltd. They are based upon ideas that have been enacted and continue to be developed in response to the fatal breakdown of Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands G1. The media was not invited to the session, and NTRA President Alex Waldrop said afterward that he could not yet give specific details of the potential reforms or implementation strategy.

Jeff Lowe is staff writer of Thoroughbred Times. The NTRA hopes to have finalized plan in place by midOctober. Many racetracks and state jurisdictions have adopted reforms, and Breeders Cup Ltd. Waldrop said the reforms would fall into five areas medication and testing, injury reporting and prevention, safety research, safer racing environment, and care for retired racehorses. few major horse players were among the invited attendees, along with influential owners and breeders, racetrack and sales company executives, regulators, veterinarians, and representatives of the Jockeys Guild and horsemens groups.
