Repole Proposes Four-Hour Live Uncensored Debate

[Wandering Eyes]

In response to an open letter to the industry published in Tuesday's TDN from The Jockey Club, Mike Repole has proposed a four-hour, live forum between himself and The Jockey Club Board of Stewards, with a $1 million donation to aftercare. The concept was proposed o his feed on X Tuesday evening.

“I'm proposing a four-hour, live, uncensored forum between me and the Board of Stewards of The Jockey Club, broadcast for every track operator, owner, trainer, breeder, jockey, employee, horseplayer and fan in the industry to watch. Full transparency. No spin. No scripts. To further encourage you to do what's right for the people of this industry and for the Thoroughbred themselves, I propose a $1,000,000 aftercare commitment tied to this forum. I'll personally contribute $500,000. The Stewards collectively would contribute $500,000.”

The Jockey Club's letter rebutted several criticisms that Repole has aimed at the organization as well as others in the industry regarding the decline of the foal crop, aftercare funding, and access to data.
