    • Rennell showed his true colours during the Blue Magic scandal. Useless CEO that sucked the trotting scene dry, then moved on to oversee the destruction of Greyhounds, mind you big Glenda didn't help either, along with Bickford, Kerr, Holden and others.
    • Who is the dominant one of the four?  Self-interest drives most decision making and most of the time that is in the interests of all.  Sometimes it isn't.

    • It seems there are four trainers on this committee so, you can't blame one trainer for any problems.
    • Veteran jockey agent Tony Martin has returned from a brief retirement to represent apprentice Jamison Mudd, currently based at Fair Grounds. “I've seen some good ones come, and some good ones go,” Martin said. “I think this kid has got a lot of talent.” Martin represented Joe Talamo, who captured the Fair Grounds riding title at the 2006-2007 meet and later earned the Eclipse Award for outstanding apprentice jockey. “I've been watching [Mudd] since the first weekend he rode at Louisiana Downs and I liked what I saw,” Martin said. “He rides like an older rider, you know what I'm saying? Switches sticks, three or four times if he needs to, down the lane. He can split horses if he has to.” Mudd is an 18-year-old native of Lafayette, Louisiana and a third-generation horseman. “He is a very polite kid,” Martin said. “He's got class. He represents himself really well.” Just four months into his first year of riding, Mudd owns a 4-13-9 record from 104 mounts, as of Jan. 10. Still seeking his first victory at Fair Grounds, he has four seconds and three thirds from 40 starts, though Martin assumed management of his book only at the beginning of January. “All we're riding are the longshots right now, but I hope that can change,” Martin said. Only 15 of Mudd's 104 calls have gone off at odds of 5-1 or lower, yet his mounts have consistently outrun their odds. “About two weeks ago, he ran second and got beat a head on a horse that was 165-1 for Kevin Williams,” Martin said. “In a maiden special weight on the turf. He put a beautiful ride on that horse.” Before becoming a licensed jockey, Mudd worked as an exercise rider in Louisiana and Kentucky, most notably for trainer Kenny McPeek, where he rode Mystik Dan ahead of his GI Kentucky Derby victory, as well as Take Charge Milady prior to her run in the GI Kentucky Oaks. Beginning his career in 1986, Martin has represented some of the state's top riders, including Corey Lanerie, Robbie Albarado, E.J. Perrodin and Kirk LeBlanc.
