The decoupling battle coming to American racing jurisdictions beyond Florida is not theoretical. It's happening in Canada, where the government is ending the “coupled” partnership between horse racing & gaming at Hastings Park, which opened in 1892.The threat in Florida is real & that’s why our Thoroughbred Racing Initiative coalition will continue working to #DefeatDecoupling.Damon Thayer Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association Tampa Bay Downs HBPA, Inc.

Love this quote from our senior advisor Damon Thayer, speaking on a The University of Arizona Racetrack Industry Program panel on reinventing racing business models: “We need to stop apologizing that we are in the horse-racing business. We should be proud of its cultural, agricultural, tourism and economic effect on the economy across this country."National HBPA Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association Tampa Bay Downs HBPA, Inc.

Excerpts from our senior advisor Damon Thayer's remarks from yesterday's The University of Arizona's Racetrack Industry Program panel:Thayer emphasized that coalition-building is integral to defeating decoupling. Last legislative session “we all worked together as a part of a coalition, and we were 50-1 to kill that bill, and we killed it," he said. "And we’re lined up once again and aligned to kill the decoupling bill when the FL legislature convenes next month. “We are aligned, we are working together, and we have a great coalition. And we’re going to beat that bill and save FL racing.”As he has said in all his public remarks, Thayer stresses that TRI also is working on solutions to preserve and strengthen Florida racing and breeding. “The big question is: How much is going to cost, and where is the money going to come from? In the next two weeks, TRI in conjunction w the Florida HBPA will release the results of a year-long study by the Crossroads Consulting Services & Populous (architects). They took a complete look at Florida industry and did a feasibility study for us. "We’ll be releasing those results before Christmas and it will lay out options for state of Florida. We’re going to lay out several potential pathways forward. Perhaps this can be part of a multi-lateral approach.” (Photo: Thayer, at right, with panel moderator Mark Simendinger, left, and Iowa Horsemens Benevolent and Protective Association, Inc. executive director Jon Moss.
