Title: Where have all the racing forums gone?
Post by: slakboy on March 09, 2005, 04:19:25 PM
NYRA and now the Thoroughbred Times have shut their online forums in the past month, citing the behavior of certain posters/participants. I\'d presume that some lawyers representing a \'supertrainer\' or owner (or maybe a figure maker!) have been sending out threatening letters.

Anyone have any idea who\'s behind this?

And JB, have any cease and desist letters come across the transom lately (or any nasty late-night phonecalls)?

Slak-- no one has threatened to sue me, but I keep hoping. Aside from getting to show  the figure moves in court as evidence, we would get to subpeona an awful lot of trainers, vets, and assistants, and look at a lot of records. Please, sue me.

Richie-- interestingly enough, if it is the one that Brunetti built in Jersey, Greg from this office used to be a member. When it gets warm lets try to hook it up, doesn\'t have to be there.

davidrex-- your point is what? Paul says you are a long time Raggie, welcome.

I\'m on a plane.
