By

On May 25th the Horseracing Integrity Act of 2017 (H.R. 2651) was introduced by Representatives Andy Barr (R-KY) and Paul Tonko (D-NY).

I was wrong. We came out to the ranch this morning ready to work with the horses, but we were greeted with what appeared to be the aftermath of either a very big party, or what must … [Read more...]
