Hi Paul, I don't doubt JJ's enthusiasm and cheerleaders are important but for the topic of Reinventing the Harness Racing Industry we need leaders - ideas men.
I am not on twitter or Facebook but I was told that one of the Youth forum leaders for the conference asked what she should raise and she received the following suggestion:
“The culture of indifference to and tolerance towards race fixers and drug cheats by those inside the industry. The sport has no chance of being accepted and embraced by mainstream society unless these criminals are called out and ostracised by honest participants.”
That would be a worthwhile but big task for a keynote speaker even
I have no problem with JJ and think he could/will be a valuable part of the conference but going on the podcast that keynote topic would not appear to be his thing
