Do you think there is anyone with any shred of humility left in Saratoga that will apologize to true horse racing fans for their arrogance and total lack of respect and understanding about what makes great stamina runners great ?

Hey, hoity toity Saratoga has snubbed the Marathon Division and Evening Attire. They have put themselves ahead of a "new" direction in the game in favor of appeasing their owner du jour playmates.
Utterly tiresome.. A new low in ridiculousness. Saratoga didn't 'snub' anyone. The schedule of BC Marathon races was established with the tracks and NYRA's race was the Brooklyn. The Greenwood (PHA) was the most recent and there are two more upcoming later in the summer/early fall at Turfway and somewhere else.
