                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, April 16, 2013—The news from California is very bad on several levels, disheartening to those who love the game and love the animals and unnerving, too, considering how it’s all juxtaposed to what Derby week media coverage might bring. In relation to the Lasix issue which has to this point only tangential implications with respect to the heart attacks polemic at Southern California racetracks, HRI has counseled that public perception matters and that the industry should pro&#45;act before &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/on-the-line'>&#8220;Baffert&#45;Gate,&#8221; Just Another Sad Chapter</a>]]>

After all, hasn’t everyone? First, the Association of Racing Commissioners cut bait a few years ago on the raceday ban although, to its credit, it did ramp up efforts to establish a uniform set of rules—so long as raceday prohibition of &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/on-the-line'>In the Great Lasix Debate, the HBPA Proves Too Big To Fail</a>]]>

No matter what criterion I choose, I’m always uneasy after responding. Must be the Catholic guilt thing. The “problem” is that inclusion into racing’s pantheon is largely a matter of perception. So when ballots arrive, it’s a matter of delineating one potential immortal from the next.

Alas, since I am paid to try, let’s concentrate on this for now.
