Well it’s true!
Self appointed, after a poll of 4000 people voted yes for him to be commissioner.
And he wanted to be King of racing, but thought that was a bit much!
I will once again call for the appointment of Charles LoPresti as Commissioner of Racing.
Having listened to him on the Byk show so many years ago, I almost remember him to be a lucid, fair minded individual who knows the industry completely.
Like all good ideas based on merit these days, I know this will go nowhere. Maybe if he shaves his legs and says he is a she.......nah....nevermind.
How about both he and Byk. Byk is a great promoter of the sport, and has a platform to educate and inform. Never heard a bad word about the guy, and he seems very sensible on air. And add a couple of others, TGJB for the data end and player info, along with a couple of others in that area, and back tail it off HISA for horse protection.
They have an association for owners,tracks,horseman,vets, but none for players and the sport as a hole. And in regards to the commish, always heard you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
If people do not like you, they tend not to want to work with you and often strive to oppose everything that you try to do.
You need honesty and transparency from everyone. That is what is lacking.
Making Repole \"The Commissioner\" is like making John Dillinger a bank manager.
I also believe Steve Byk would be an outstanding candidate for commissioner.
