HELP stop decoupling of harness racing!

By Harnesslink ·

I am one of 14 board members  that make up the Florida Breeders and Owners Association (FSBOA).

We are in a desperate battle to stop the decoupling of our industry which in effect would destroy the sport of Harness racing in Florida and will eventually spread to the other states where Harness Racing has partnered with casinos.

The legislative session in Florida has until March 11th to pass the proposed "Seminole Pact" that would eliminate racing almost immediately.

We, the FSBOA, believe along with our lawyers that this is blatantly unconstitutional. However, as with all long legal battles we need money to fight the corruption within the political system.

The casinos have too much money at their disposal for us to battle without our nationwide industry support. Remember, Florida is the first battleground and first line of defense in stopping decoupling. If decoupling is not stopped in Florida then you can count on your state being next, it is inevitable.

Please lets unite in this fight and stop the destruction of our sport. This is a cause that every horseperson, owner, trainer, driver, breeder and vendor must get behind to win.

This money will be used for lawyers in our constitutional fight and for our lobbyists in Tallahassee to make sure this doesn't happen again. We are also in talks with a top PR Firm with the intent to take our fight to the people.  And don't forget "You will be next" if we don't win in Florida.

Thank you for your support, the fate of Harness Racing in the United States lies in our hands.
