Barb the Standardbred people started a petition on the Standardbred Canada website and I'm sure it fell on deaf ears. I don't know if the Thoroughbred side did the same. IMO both sides have to get together and attack this as one industry and forget the squabbling of the past between the two sides. The voice of an industry must be heard and we as the fuel from our wagering dollar must be heard. Why should those of us who choose not to play slots or craps or poker have our entertainment taken away from us. I thought we lived in a democratic province and country where our constitution gave us the opportunity to make choices for ourselves. This should be taken to the highest court in the country because IMO it is an infringement on our right of choice.
