What's the early Vegas line on the nasal strips for the Belmont Stakes? Every state in the Union allows nasal strips for thoroughbreds except NY. NY allows nasal strips for standardbreds.

It's a lock, because of the standardbred argument you use.

Surely the politician your letter targets will understand this point and act immediately.

If the pol had half the sense that you do sir, there would be free nasal strips for all on the Belmont S. card.

It is a common misconception that politicians lack sense and intelligence.

The reality is as far from that as possible.

They are all self-serving asssholes that only care about themselves and their sponsors.

I hope you are not suggesting that FLAIR, the manufacturer for nasal strips, needs to make a "campaign contribution" to get their product to the NY thoroughbred market.
