Backers of the decoupling bills (HB 105/SB 408) claim that horse racing is a dying industry because foal production is down. But Florida Thoroughbreds remain an economic powerhouse. Quality and value outpace quantity. #FTBOA #NoToDecoupling
Image is composed of two pictures that are slightly visible behind a light blue filter. The top image features the hooves of racehorses standing in a gate, the bottom image features two racehorses galloping in a race. Overlayed on top of the pictures, is the underlined text, “QUANTITY FILLS THE GATE”. An arrow beneath this text points down to large text that says, “QUALITY GETS THE WIN”.

Florida Thoroughbreds are a formidable force, representing 40% of race entries, wins, and purse earnings across all Florida races. When you remove live racing at Florida tracks, we risk losing the talent, expertise, and our winning legacy to rival states. #FTBOA #NoToDecoupling
Graphic consists of a blue background image that features a racehorse and their team in the winners circle after winning a race. The image of the team is slightly visible. Overlayed on top of the background, is a graphic of two horses running across a chart, next to the words, “FLORIDA-BRED THOROUGHBREDS REPRESENT”. A down pointing arrow points at “40% OF RACE ENTRIES, OF OVERALL WINS, AND PURSE EARNINGS ACROSS ALL FLORIDA RACES”. The “40%” is highlighted by an orange bar that spans the width of the image.
