If it's in the game...

MLB 2k announced their new iteration of the genre. The concept involves leading a team from the front office. Apparently, no actual games are played, just determined by whatever roster you manage to put together.

The NTRA and racing in general could learn a lot from these games. They could develop a game where one is placed in charge of an inept marketing agency and tasked with bringing a rational resolution to the fiasco we know as horse racing.

Then again, Waldrop, Couto, et al., would nix the whole project during trials, when my two year old solves the entire game, inside of 30 minutes, during beta.

I appreciate your persistance in calling a duck, a duck.

I am deeply disappointed by the NTRA.

I can already anticipate the questions I'll be hearing come Derby time. As friends and family start asking about those persnickity things like drugs, cheaters, breakdowns, retirement, slaughter...

And the NTRA has done next to nothing.

The Self Appointed Fan Committee/Commission has done more to provide a forum for concerns.

The Paulick Report doesn't shy away from the realities of racing.

Hancock aptly characterized the state of racing - Drugs and Thugs.

Keep calling the ducks, ducks.
