IMPORTANT READ!

AUGUST
27, 2010
Dear Members:
This letter is to keep you up to date with the happenings involving the
FSBOA since our 1st meeting with Mr. Rob Wyre, the new general manager
of The Isle at Pompano and also to give you follow up information on the
letter and ballot that was circulated by the anonymous “Count Your
Ballot” group.
The
negotiating committee met with The Isle on Thursday August 19th and
again on Tuesday August 24th and we are optimistic that we
have moved closer to reaching an agreement during these meetings. We
will advise you of the progress made at these meetings as soon as we
have meaningful information to report. Check the FSBOA web site for any
updates, if you don’t have internet access call the FSBOA
(954-972-5400) and we will mail you this information when available.
To
keep you updated with the actions of the “Count Your Ballot” group
we can inform you of the following information provided to us by The
Isle. This group approached The Isle and stated that there is a
possibility they would form their own horseman’s association and that
their new group should represent the horsemen instead of the FSBOA.
This
confusing message to The Isle’s management directly led to the delay
in securing our second meeting. Fortunately we were able to point out to
Isle management that
Florida
state law acknowledges the FSBOA as the only recognized association
responsible for any and all agreements and the recipient of any moneys
due the Standardbred Industry in the State of
Florida
. We are glad that this issue has been resolved with the Isle and look
forward to our next meeting with them.
Thank
you all for your support and help during this trying time in our
Industry but we believe that we are headed in the right direction and we
will achieve our goal of a fair and equitable agreement with The Isle.
The Negotiating Committee

Garrity

Fellow FSBOA members:
The FSBOA has verified with John Yinger, Director
of Racing that anyone that has had stalls allocated to them will be able
to have access to the barn area the week
of September 20th
to have bedding delivered and to get their stalls ready so that
your horses can be brought onto the grounds September
27th. We trust this will clear up any questions you may
have.
The FSBOA looks foreword, with optimism, to the
upcoming stake season which will start on Saturday
October 2nd. The entry box for these first stakes races
draw will close on Wednesday September
29th at 9:00 am. Sorry no late entries will be accepted.
We wish all good racing Luck!
