LACK of DIVERSITY FURTHER DEADENS an ALREADY DEAD AQU meet
AQU this winter has to be just about the WORST racing in the country.
And the racing secretary feeding us a steady diet of 6F, 8F, and 1M 70 yard races is not helping the problem. Here's a suggestion: add the 5F (or 5.5F if track setup is an issue) and the 9F races into the mix. There are plenty of horses that either can't get 6F (too long for them) or the shorter route distances. Make is a bit more interesting. (I need the plays on WEDNESDAYS, when TAM, GG, FG, and PHA are dark).  Last edited by the_fat_man : 02-04-2009 at 12:49 PM.

TFM..
Whoa.. No one will mistake the Inner Meet for Belmont in the Fall or Saratoga, but the racing has been competitive with a fair racetrack and a bunch of hungry, hard-riding jocks. There are a number of new outfits from Rochester, Boston and the Midatlantic making the fields look a bit different than we're used to as well. You're being unduly harsh here. There's been plenty of lucrative opportunities at the AQI so far... And it's really not long until the geese fly north from Gulfstream (post Florida Derby).

Personally, I have found the meet to be very playable overall. The fields have been decent sizes and competitive, the track has played fair as opposed to the speed bias we are used to and the opportunities have been plentiful. On the contrary, I think the Big A has done a great job this meet.

It's been working well for me.
I don't get the complaint at all.

I also can't imagine why anyone would want 5F races.
