The round-table discussions are expected to assist committee members' understanding of critical issues facing the racing industry today.

I felt in a lot of ways I was racing for her today.

I think they realize now what racing is all about. They need to train how they were racing today... and I think they get that now.

Thirty-two jockeys were tested today before racing. They are given something called a no-go test which registers either a green or red light. Richard Quinn was the only jockey to receive a red light. It's a borderline result. A reading of below 17 micrograms is not sufficient to have any effect upon a rider's performance.

I am very pleased that we have been able to get some of the most knowledgeable individuals in the industry to participate.

I'm interested in having people who have no direct interest in the bidding process to provide independent, objective information to the committee.
