Not allowing horses to run back on less than 14 days should be up to the discretion of the racing secretary, not some steadfast rule.
I understand that they need to "do something" but those changes are not helpful in anyway except in the most egregious cases which should be dealt with through the new maintaining of a non-competitive list. I have always maintained that ridiculous entries should be refused by the racing sec.
They still have to yet to work up the courage to tackle other issues that are causing NYRA cards to be far weaker than they might otherwise be. Hopefully they will get a period of safe racing, just hope they dont chalk it up to these changes and not consider other grander changes.

This is really comical as if those being entered for $12,500 will not be entered for $16,000. When you really think about it now they will be running for even more purse money arguably placing the lower level horses against slightly harder competition which makes them even more hopeless and theoretically subject to increased chance of breakdowns.
