Sulky proxy's take on NY OTB future
Interesting piece in the T-U Wednesday by Joe Faraldo of the NY Standardbred Owners..
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories...sdate=7/9/2008 Buggy side worth $2B to NY.. (!) And again, I ask the frequently tough to answer question from the other day... Is this 'News'.. Is this a 'Blog entry".. Is this an "Op-Ed" piece.. Is this a "Letter to the Editor".. ??? Read it and tell me..

Steve, It's in the OPINIONS section of the T-U web site, so I think it's safe to call this one an OP-ED.. which it is. News-worthy.. yes... Blog?? no... It's not a "news article," nor is the T-U trying to pass it off as it is. It's opinionated.. but much less than other OP-ED's. I think it could also be put in the "letter to the editor" category, but this appears to be like a 'contributing Op-column.' The "Joe Faraldo is president of the Standardbred Owners Association of New York. He represents more than 1,000 harness horsemen in New York." at the end of the piece gives it away. Thanks for posting it.. good stuff. OK, back to handicapping.
