Dedication

Behind the Gate is dedicated to the grooms in the standardbred industry. Nobody spends more time with the horse than the groom; however‘ the groom’s attentive care, talents and endless hours are often not fully appreciated and often not fully compensated. There are

exceptions and, in some instances, grooms are treated well.

Hopefully, conditions will change soon and, where necessary, grooms will receive their just due. As a start, how about the normal benefits

received by the other workers in our society?
