‘Introduce horse racing in the schools’ – Doug Wheatley
He was speaking last evening January 20, 2015 on his Speak Out BVI radio show heard on ZBVI 780 AM during which he dealt with a number of issues.
“We have a fantastic facility down at Sea Cow’s Bay. But it is not being utilized for the benefit of the Territory. We need to do something so that it can become a serious pillar of our economy,” he said.
He said services such as simulcasting could be done at Ellis Thomas Downs to help the sport garner more income.
“I would like to see our Government find a way to introduce horse racing in our schools, because out of that that you can get an industry where you can have breeding of horses, as happened in the old days,” he said.
“It is an industry that would provide employment for a number of different categories of persons. [It should be introduced to our young people in the schools so that when they come out they can gravitate towards it. There are the jockeys, there is the farming part of it, there is the medical part of it,” he said. “There is a lot that can be done in terms of that,” said Wheatley.
