NYRA continues to do what they have done for years, offer the absolute best product at the cheapest cost to customers. 3 dollars to get into the track up here. No owners have ever been stiffed on purses, and they were among the first to institute a race day detention barn. And you are dead wrong if you think horseman would always come heer anyway without those great purses and condition books.
Gulfstream used to be an elite place, this past year they must have broken the record for most cheap claiming races in one meet, CD was a nose behind with their last meet. They keep running garbage racing except for 4-5 days a meet, at both places.
NYRA is a wonderful place if you are a fan or an owner or trainer. Lemme know when CD or Gulf or anyplace does over 15 million in handle on a Wednesday, LOL!!!
Oracle, you cant compare Saratoga to Churchill or to Gulfstream. Saratoga and Keeneland are head and shoulders above every other race track in America. You have to be fair here. But I think Saratoga is even head and shoulders above Keeneland. Saratoga has ZERO competiton in the mid-west and east and south. The only other major track is Del Mar and we all know what Cali racing is like. Keeneland's fall meet has to compete with Belmont so they have more competition for horses. There is no doubt that NYRA puts out a great product. But just imagine how much better it can be once the NYTRA is ousted.
