What will racing look like in 10 years? We asked some of racing's best and brightest to give us their predictions. Want to submit an answer? Email suefinley@thetdn.com At my core, I am an optimist. Fast forward to 2036 and horse racing is thriving. The NTRA remains a unifying voice throughout the industry and all of the major stakeholders are working collaboratively and thoughtfully to continue to make the sport fairer and safer for all involved. While some change is hard, it is also inevitable. The way we have always done things cannot be the way to do everything in the future if we want to remain relevant and not just survive but thrive. A girl can dream, right? We have already lost too many tracks and left major markets without ways to expose future fans, horseplayers and industry participants to the sport in meaningful ways. Each track lost is a significant one for the health of the industry as a whole. In 2036, perhaps the ownership of some tracks looks different but there is hope to preserve the ones that we have. Growing up at Suffolk Downs, we always felt like we were on the edge of extinction–we were a hard-knocking blue-collar track. The giants, like Arlington Park and Hollywood, seemed untouchable. We have learned that no track is immune at this point and all should be treated like the endangered animal that they are. I have optimism for the foal crop but if and only if we preserve and continue to develop the state-bred breeding programs throughout the country. These programs are the heart of the sport and bolster the agricultural economy in states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia. Great horses can come from anywhere and the key to full fields and competitive racing comes from successful state bred programs. Horse racing needs to do a better job of cultivating additional sources of revenue whether it is coming from fixed-odds or other avenues. There is a generation of folks who are enthusiastic about wagering and are so engaged through the ability to bet through their mobile devices. The other change I hope to see in 2036? More female announcers on major circuits.

Stats certainly don't lie, one wonders why he's had the snub for the hall of fame, but the facts are there for all to see, but regardless we've always known how good he was, it probably makes the hall of fame decision makers look a bit strange. -

55 hurdle victories from 260 rides including three Grand National Hurdles, a Great Northern Hurdle and a Wellington Hurdle which won't ever be repeated by a predominantly flat riding jockey. No incumbent Hall of Famer would've been brave enough to have 260 hurdle mounts let alone win 55 of them. Johnson should've been the first HOF inductee not the last and Des Coppins should've been buried with the Friday Flash !
