Welcoming Horse Racing and Historic Horse Betting back to Virginia
 

Virginia is for Lovers!  Virginia is also the Wine Country of the East Coast along with the home of two NASCAR tracks, the Cheasapeake Bay with its wonders and beautiful horse country from Albermalre, Faquier, Loundon Counties to the Shennandoh Valley.  We have a great state tradition of small business growth and Agri-businesses like the Wine and Cider industry that are propelling good economic growth.  Bringing Horse Racing back into the Virginia Agri-Tourism fold is a huge step forward.  We need to support the efforts of Revolutionary Racing and the Virginia Racing Commision to set rules and policies that help this business grow and flourish, which will only help my business and others in New Kent County and Virginia grow and flourish.  Our State bueracrats need to keep out of over regulating or burdening this business.  If they do not and this concept of horse racing in Virginaia fails a second time it will be economically devestating on many levels.  Let free enterprise and the market place dictate the outcome not government.
