INSIDE THE DEBATE: MESSAGE FROM THE MODERATORS
The journey of Post Time with Mike and Mike began with the mission of 'Positively Promoting Harness Racing'. The first ever USTA Presidential Debate, which will be heard over these airwaves, will achieve another goal in this never ending mission.
"There are plenty of places that air harness racing's dirty laundry," says Mike Bozich, co-host of the program. "The sport has plenty of feel good stories that never seem to find the light of day. We have, and will continue, to make every attempt to give these stories the headlines they deserve here on this show."
Although Post Time with Mike and Mike has concentrated on the positive, Bozich assures tough questions will be asked in the upcoming USTA Presidential Debate. "Tough questions can be asked without constantly ragging on the negatives," Bozich says. "There are some very difficult issues facing our industry , and the candidates will be asked on how they plan to deal with these issues moving forward."
The debate format has been laid out. It will have opening and closing statements, four main subjects with sub-questions relating to those topics, and opportunities for rebuttals. The questions were gathered from USTA Directors, Horsemen, Horsewomen, and racing fans.
Mike Carter, the younger of the two Mikes, felt strongly that an unbiased platform should be given to all of the candidates. "The idea of the debate was born when an exchange of ideas got a little heated on social media," said Carter. "Mike and I decided to jump in and create something to get their ideas out."
