The Thoroughbred Idea Foundation, a think tank started by Glen Hill Farm's Craig Bernick, is calling for compromise throughout the racing industry and has “enlisted five industry leaders to present their take on improving different segments of racing through new approaches to long-stagnant 'offices,'” according to a press release. Their ideas will be released by TIF in the next two days, focusing on wagering and innovation, racing administration and planning, integrity and welfare, communications and marketing and owners' services and recruitment.
“Presented with an opportunity to re-shape our industry and mindful of our precarious position, these suggestions should be met with open minds,” the release said. “Our interest in a healthy Thoroughbred industry is shared. The process to achieve these much-needed improvements remains rooted in compromise, with all stakeholders understanding that once-entrenched opinions must be loosened in order to establish a modern sport.”
