Funny, but Ky and Cali and Ny don't have slots and they all pay purses much higher.
Horsemen may love the facilities but as many have wondered aloud, why go to the work of installing such great surfaces to race on and the great Palm Meadows training center if all you are gonna run is claiming races?
Two years in a row the horseman have gone in and complained about the races being written. Its been covered in the DRF, in case you don't read that publication.

Yes, the horseman hate it and that is why Barbaro, Bernardini, Jazil, Sharp Humor, Showing Up, Keyed Entry, etc. all were based there.

Have you seen the condition books for this winter? I am going to guess you are making your statements based on absolutely nothing. Please learn to stick to things that you know about. Let me guess, you know everything and you know what the condition books are going to be. Last I checked, everyone is coming back this winter. How are you criticizing Gulfstreams racing for this winter without seeing the condition books?


Slots will do for Gulfstream what they did for Delaware Park. Purses will double.

I am going to assume you know nothing about slots and the revenue they will bring in. Probably because in New York they can't get their act together and get them.

Please let me know why NYRA can't provide liveable dorms for the workers but poor old Gulfstream can?
