I'm sure there are thousands of owners that boycott the Saratoga meet because of the lack of concrete barns or the location of the press box.

Consultants are a lot like marketing people.

If they don't say or do things that make themselves look important, people will stop paying them.

That's really their bottom line.

Winner of the Wile E. Coyote "Super Genius" award. What a waste of ink and paper.

Look at the bright side, he didn't recommend that they install poly track.

ugh.

The one who's recently given us a giant pain in the fugging ass at least is probably also responsible for the whole thing in the first place.

He's probably the only useful one alive, even if he is a tard.

The exposed pipes and old charm are part of what makes Saratoga. Could it use a face lift in some areas? Sure. But who doesn't when they're that old?
