Award-winning journalist - both inside and outside of harness racing - Andrew Cohen voices his opinions on the future of our industry on today's edition of Trot Radio

.

Cohen, an owner and breeder who is the Chief Legal Analyst for CBS News, talks to Norm Borg about the role of the commissioner, integrity issues and ambivalence toward making key changes to the framework to help build the sport.

"The one thing we have going for us, in an industry that by most indications is dying, is we have this amazing sport, and we have these very exciting races and we have these heroes...and I think once people begin to realize what their stories are, we can market the sport," states Cohen, who was a guest contributor to Trot's State of the Industry issue in May 2009.

Cohen continues, "Everybody recognizes there's a problem but when you talk to people and say 'do something about it', people say 'our hands are tied by X or Y', and my point is let's bring together bright people within the industry - we have them, clearly, on every level - let's bring those people together and let's solve X and let's solve Y so that the next time we have those sorts of issues we can act on them quickly."
