Thoroughbred Idea Foundation (USA)
About: The Racing Think Tank has been established in July 2018 to create an active forum for the exchange and curation of ideas which will improve the overall prospects for the Thoroughbred industry, its stakeholders, and fundamentally, the horse.  The project is the brainchild of Craig Bernick and the Executive Director is Patrick Cummings, who is coming home from managing public affairs for the Hong Kong Jockey Club to work with a diverse board to bring together active people who want to change the sport for the better. The organisation has identified 3 major trends in the North American Thoroughbred racing over the last decade that they seek to better understand and turn around: 1) handle is down roughly 20% 2) foal crops are down almost 40% 3) the number of races being run is down about 25%.
