Thank you to all of the legislators who joined us for a visit to Gulfstream Park on Jan. 5. The group, which included (from left) Representative Sam Garrison, Speaker-Designate Paul Renner, Representatives Tom Leek and Bob Rommel, FHBPA lobbyist Amanda Stewart, Representative Lawrence McClure, FHBPA Lobbyist Jeff Johnston, and Representatives Josie Tomkow and Daniel Perez, enjoyed a tour of the barn area and a bird-eye view of racing. We love talking about our industry and our people to our legislators. It is an opportunity to highlight the vital importance of Thoroughbred racing to the state, and to discuss the issues that effect the frontside and the backstretch at the track.
