@YulongInvest
📢If you had $10m to invest in an industry initiative what would it be?
💬If I had $10m I'd split it among 5 racing states for an under-35 race series. Eligible horses must be owned/leased by at least 80% under 35.
We really appreciate all the positive feedback and support since our first edition in August, 2018. We’ve come a long way and, thankfully, there’s a lot more to come!
