The deadline to submit your opinions, information or contributions is September 2, 2008.
As announced in July by ORC Executive Director John Blakney, the special working session will assess current practice, policy and rules to determine what improvements need to be made. Invited representatives of the horse racing community will meet in mid September and will include current and retired jockeys and drivers, horsepeople associations, racetracks, animal welfare agencies and the equine veterinarian community.
The ORC staff is currently collecting information pieces, articles, Letters To The Editor, statistics, and existing rules from other jurisdictions to provide background material for the working session discussions. Submissions received from interested people or associations will be included in this material. All submissions and material will eventually be made available to the public through the ORC website.

Multiple Sovereign Award winner picks the Canadian Derby tomorrow..
I'm looking forward to Saturday's Canadian Derby at Northlands. It's a great field but even better I know who the winner is going to be. In fact, I'll even give you the exactor.
Texas Wildcatter wins. Look, this was a horse that just missed in the Gotham stakes which is a major New York prep for the Kentucky Derby. Missed by a nose.
They tried him in the Wood Memorial and the Louisiana Derby where he never fired. But it's not like he was one and done because two weeks ago he just missed in the B.C. Cup Classic against Spaghetti Mouse who is B.C.'s all-time home bred.
And that was after Spaghetti Mouse took him to the middle of the track around the last turn.
When Texas Wildcatter runs in the Canadian Derby, Visionaire, who beat him by a zap in the Gotham will run in the King's Bishop stakes on the Travers undercard.
Speaking of the Travers, Pyro, who couldn't match strides with Texas Wildcatter in the early going in the Northern Dancer, is the favorite in the Travers.
