Congratulations Greg, think
Congratulations Greg, think this will prove a prudent move by WF, and it will have a positive affect on all of racing. A young guy who has worked Grass roots racing in PEI, where the. Game/Sport really matters, the big league (so to speak) at WEG, and a mid-market like WF. That broad based experience is "big picture" important. I really think Greg understands that tracks have to step up and understand they are in the hospitality business, that horsemen have to understand they are catering to the hospitality business. There is only one direction, and that is up.

Congratulations Greg."The cream rises to the top" applies here. I remember when you started out in this game on PEI, and it was easy to see the tremendous potential you had right out of the gate.
Combine your skills, personality, and experience with that of one of your mentors WFD's Hugh Mitchell, and you have a winning combination.
Good luck with your new GM position. You've always been a credit to harness racing and the folks back home on PEI.
