I'm not trying to make it an either or argument. The people saying they were right not to consider racing on Sunday are.
However, if its going to be an either/or argument then I think the numbers show racing on Sunday is better option then running on Thursday.

It is pretty clear why Sunday was chosen. It became even more obvious because of the once-every-14-years situation of Memorial Day being five days before the Belmont this year...however that was obviously not why we chose to close after the Belmont.
Honestly, considering how many people seem to think there is too much racing, it is amazing that anyone would have any problem with this. But, I guess when the name NYRA is attached there have to be people knocking us. That's fine....at least they are paying attention.
