frank stronach tosses a bomb...
 

that should be interesting ... I hope someone tapes and puts on internet.

I was wondering why he was having this Tuesday speech at a random Embassy Suites near the track, and not at Santa Anita itself...until I remembered that he has no official role with TSG anymore, and likely isn't welcome there given all of the family lawsuits going on right now.

Which means that Belinda, Ritvo, etc are not privy to what Frank is planning, none of them are on the same page, and we will likely end up with two Stronachs running around SoCal spouting different plans and priorities.

As if this circus needed any more clowns.

Get ready for a shit show

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

I can only think he’s trying to stay relevant and feed his ego.

Definitely ego-driven. The open letter he put in the LA Times talks about himself more than it talks about California, and most of it isn't even true.

I also have no idea why an entire paragraph of a letter addressed to Californians is talking about a statute in Florida, but whatever.

And right on cue, Belinda is already distancing herself from this shit show:

How did his daughter end up in control? I must have missed where he gave all the track business to her? Even though he doesn't like her.


Man this is turning into some Kardashian shit.

The shit show was Belinda. What an ungrateful, ungrateful, ungrateful daughter.

"I have always said that the key stakeholders within the horse industry are -- the racetrack owners, horse owners, trainers, jockeys, breeders and veterinarians." -- Frank Stronach

No mention of horseplayers.:ThmbDown:

Because of course every business in the world lists their customers as stakeholders.

You could ask trainers the same question and I doubt many would rattle off horse players, same for most of that list.

Every good business in the world understands that you have to take care of the customer otherwise you won't have a business.

Wikipedia:

"In a corporation, a stakeholder is a member of "groups without whose support the organization would cease to exist...

A narrow mapping of a company's stakeholders might identify the following stakeholders:

Employees
Communities
Shareholders
Creditors
Investors
Government
Customers
Owners
Financiers
Managers"

I'll be interested in what he has to say. Does anyone here know how much pull Frank has (if any) with the TSG or is his daughter running everything and has kicked him to the curb?

Evidently his golf course is closed, but is his grass-fed cattle business (Adena Springs Ranch) still going? Or did his daughter shut that down too?

I'm no expert on the family drama, but with the closure of Portland Meadows, I wonder what the long-term vision is for these peeps.

No one disputes the importance of the customer for a company’s product, but this is a typical picky complaint. Pull out the dictionary if you want but when one uses the word stakeholder they’re talking of someone who has a significant interest, most likely financial, in the company. Customers aren’t stakeholders in that regard. If you think you are, then I guess you consider yourself that for every product and service you buy. Are you stakeholders of the casinos you frequent or your dry cleaner’s?

Handicappers need to pick their battles more wisely. This is so unimportant.
