Mr. Phil Meaney:

Let me answer the question. They were difficult times for everyone - owners, trainers and breeders. When we had small amounts of money available, we gave certain concessions on occasion to try to keep everything on the road and the industry going. It was from that that we decided to set up a forum so that people might have an input into where the money at our disposal should go, be it to owners, breeders or trainers. I am anxious to get all stakeholders going in the same direction, but that will be very difficult to do.
