The original poster does make a great point, why doesn't NYRA have more corporate sponsors? I don't want to hear this tradition garbage, the Kentucky Derby is sponsored by Yum and it doesn't bother anyone.

Maybe NYRA should get some people involved that know something about running a business instead of running a non-profit.

Great. Where is my 4% takeout pick 4? Ellis can do it but NYRA can't?

What is up with the fear of superfectas in NY too? What are 10 cent supers too cheap for the NY crowd?

I hate to tell you this but in most cases corporate sponsorship is a negative for fans. It is just one more indian that falls ahead of them on the totem pole.

This guy sounds like a groom who was pissed that he couldn't sell the stolen saddlecloth on EBay... the point of the saddlecloth is to IDENTIFY THE RUNNER, not a phucking jerry bailey bobblehead replica collectible

I know he's not a groom and he didn't lose out by the lack of custom saddle towels.

It would look nice to have a towel specifically for the Travers with the name, Travers logo and sponsor logo.
