Georgia Equine Education Project, Inc. (GEEP)

Georgia Equine Education Project, Inc.  (GEEP) Promoting the commercial enterprise of horses and horse racing GEEP’s mission is to promote Georgia’s equine industry from a commercial perspective.

Horses have always been a partner with mankind in work and play. In today’s world, horses account for a multibillion dollar industry, while at the same time serving in a variety of activities, enjoyed by both the horses and their handlers. GEEP’s main concern is for the horses themselves. A more professional approach to their development as an industry assures better and safer training, medical

care, experiences in the various activities and enjoyment. And so many other businesses benefit like veterinarians, equine suppliers, hay and feed farmers, breeding farmers, legal, accounting and insurance firms, hotels and restaurants, all types of vendors, and more. A well developed and promoted equine industry means business for Georgians, And it means jobs and revenue for our State to fund education and public services. In racing alone, it is a $2.2 billion industry in states like Florida where it create some 55,000 jobs. We want those jobs and revenue in Georgia to augment the HOPE scholarship fund, to go towards teachers’ salaries, to conduct research for the benefit of the horses at the Georgia Veterinary School. Thirty-eight states conduct horseracing. Georgia is situated in a the middle of a void of states that don’t. And Georgia can be a major leader in filling that void with some of America’s finest racing, whether it be thoroughbred, quarter horse, paint, harness, Arab or any other type of equine racing.

If we can get rid of all the Republicans in the Georgia legislature, we can initiate horse racing. This will be a new source of revenue to save the rural areas which are having their hospitals close. It will provide new jobs in small towns where training and breeding facilities have to take place due to lower land costs -- and all of this done with private funds. The Republican Georgia legislature has stopped parimutuel gaming and thus has denied the Peach State of a $2 billion industry.

Sixteen American intelligence agencies, many of which he appointed the head, including the Director of the FBI, all say Russians have infested our elections, yet Trump has private meetings with Putin without American interpreters, and Trump supporters continue to support him---Trump, not to be confused with Putin (albeit comrades). What American from yesteryear would have ever thought it?

The President took to Twitter to call his intelligence officials “passive and naive” after they publicly contradicted him on Iran and ISIS on Tuesday.

I'm one of those supporting horse racing for Georgia who believe horse racing/para mutuel gaming and casino should be together in legislation rather than separate. No question, casinos produce more state revenue for the state's coffers, but not so fast. Horse racing produces more jobs and is an entire industry not just at the tracks, but for farmers, breeders and trainers who become a new industry for small towns outside of the metro areas where the tracks may be located. Thus, you have to count the personal income of these some 10,000 new jobs and the income taxes paid to Georgia together with the revenue the track sends to the State. Georgia should make these two industries combined into the legislation called "Racinos" in other states: http://www.salemnews.com/news/state_news/horse-racing-s-supporters-want-a-new-track/article_8ea66b84-3545-5d78-8623-73a65adcc1a4.html

BOSTON — Robert Temple remembers when horse racing enthusiasts flocked to Suffolk Downs, crowded into the grandstands to watch thoroughbred legends tear up the dirt track, and wagered huge sums

Horse Racing enthusiasts! Georgia has an opportunity to bring the Sport of Kings to our State. But only if there is substantial change in the Georgia legislature in November. Conservative Republicans have killed our horse racing legislation every year for almost 10 years. With polls showing growing numbers of voters voting for Democrats (who support horse racing), if more Democratic State Representatives and Senators are successful against Conservative Democrats, horse racing and para mutuel gaming CAN become a reality. And with that industry comes 10,000 new jobs and a $1 billion new industry. Small towns in Georgia, now dying, would benefit with breeding and training facilities and HOPE would receive the needed funding to keep our best students tuition free. It's a private enterprise industry that needs no governmental funding, only passage of the legislation. And that can happen beginning this fall if you vote Democrats over conservative Republican.,

Diamond Earring is the 7 in race 9 at Saratoga today. The filly goes off at 5:51 P.M. and the race can be seen on TVG TV. I, for one, will by watching to see if Diamond can earn a share of of the $85,000 purse in the 7 furlong race. She's owned by Patti and Dean Reeves who are Georgians and do as much for bringing racing to Georgia as anyone. GO DIAMOND EARRING https://www.nyra.com/saratoga/todays-program/

If you want horse racing in Georgia and the 10,000 new jobs and $1billion new industry it will bring to our State, thereby creating additional revenue for education and other programs, ALL WITH PRIVATE MONEY, you need to know the facts. One hundred (100%) of Democrats in the legislature support horse racing. Republicans block it every year, led my Republican Speaker David Ralston and Republican Senators David Shafer and Judson Hill. Please find someone to run against these elected officials.
