I really want to throw in my own opinion here but I will respectfully decline to the more learned on board.

Dale Romans, fresh from Keen Ice’s thumping in the World Cup, was quoted by Alan Aitken in the South China Morning Post as being mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore. Or something like that:
“I’m ready for an adventure, and I’m so sick of what’s happened to the sport in the U.S. I’m done with it,” Romans said.
“I’m a horseman, and I think races should be won by the better horseman, not something else. I was very impressed with what I saw in Hong Kong when I was there, and I know that,
because the vet side of racing is so tightly controlled there, it’s the superior horseman who will succeed. They’ve never had an American trainer, but if they want me, I’d love to train there.”

“There isn’t a person around who believes I said that stuff,” Romans said. “I would never knock American racing.”Roman said he is tired of a lot of the bureaucracy – including audits and health care – involved in America.
“When I said I was tired and done with this, I was talking about labor boards, immigration department ...
not horse racing,” he said.
