I think the win in your in day at Saratoga did nothing to help the track. I hope they go back to the old structure next year.

Why would the costs be a consideration to shipping and racing EA in the Breeders Cup? I am perplexed why owners feel that the industry should provide free transit and prepaid expenses.. In your horses case you are free to do want you think is in his best interest but the thought that his best interests are better served if transit is free is somewhat strange IMO.
