APPROX. $120 MILLION IN THE BANK.
THE SPORT CANโT WAIT ANY LONGER.
THE BREEDERSโ CUP HAS THE MONEY.
DOES IT HAVE THE COURAGE?
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLY ELECTED AND REELECTED BREEDERSโ CUP MEMBERS.
Whether this is your first term or your fifth, the responsibility is the same.
The sport is crying out for leadership.
The question is simple:
ARE YOU JOINING THE CLUB, OR ARE YOU JOINING THE FIGHT?
For years, racingโs leadership has been riding in a HORSE AND BUGGY while the rest of the sports and entertainment world climbed aboard a ROCKET.
Of the 39 total members, 14 also serve on the Board of Directors, giving a significant portion of the membership direct influence over the organizationโs direction and decisions.
What has that approach delivered? A sport that continues to lose ground while opportunities pass by. The warning signs are everywhere, and the cost of inaction grows with each passing year.
The clock is no longer ticking, it is BLARING.
Every year of hesitation costs the sport owners, fans, relevance, and credibility.
Incremental change is not a strategy.
Committees, studies, and excuses will not reverse decades of decline.
If the
@BreedersCup cannot lead with its resources, influence, and platform, then who will?
This is a defining moment: either force transformational action now or watch the sport continue its slow march toward irrelevance.
The 22 newly elected and reelected members now join the current 17 members, bringing the total membership to 39.
Together, those 39 members must prove they are not simply elected in name only. They must be willing to push the 14-member Board of Directors, demand accountability, and insist on bold action that serves the future of Thoroughbred racing.
For all the meetings, committees, studies, and strategic plans, what do we have to show for it?
Declining owners.
Aging fans.
Struggling racetracks.
An underfunded aftercare system.
Meanwhile, the Breedersโ Cup sits on a mountain of cash while the sport searches for a roadmap.
The mission says promote and strengthen Thoroughbred racing.
Not preserve the status quo.
Not protect the balance sheet.
Not wait for someone else to act.
Not hoarding cash.
You have a seat at the table.
This is a moment to demand innovative leadership willing to challenge old assumptions, embrace new ideas, and move the sport forward with urgency.
The industry doesnโt need 22 additional passengers in the horse and buggy.
It needs 22 people willing to help launch a rocket.
The horses canโt vote.
The fans canโt vote.
The future of the sport canโt vote.
BUT IT WILL LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISIONS.
