NY Horsemen critical of racing surfaces

I think it is funny that the trainers do not want to security, aka, the officials looking for cheaters in the barns. He said "there are very few cheaters back there".

Lol I was talking to a groom friend the other day, he said "there are probably only 5 or 6 guys that dont cheat".

How's the Oklahoma? Do the horsemen have the same concerns about the training track?

Syth. training surfaces will if anything, make it more probable that the tracks will eventually go synth. NY holds the key. If NY tracks go synth., the pressure will be on for the rest of the country.

Next few years will be very interesting.

It was fine unless they were parking cars on it.

It boggles my mind that they actually do that. At least two days the entire training track was filled with cars.

That's like hearing the Warden is corrupt from the prisoners.

The detention bans are a waste of time and money. They accomplish nothing but to give a false sense of security for those who worry about such things.
