Keep waiting. But don't blame NYRA for that. They did the same bullshit for the race before the Derby and Preakness.

This is BS, I am old enough to remember ABC showing races prior to the main event. Seriously to show Dale Romans and G Fox's relationship when there was nowhere else to view the Manhattan was pure unimaginable stupidity.

I agree but I've accepted that the networks don't care about racing fans and bettors. Come to Jesus CSC.

Is there really any surprise that the ratings are down considering neither the Derby nor Preakness winner ran? Considering this years crop and the field that ran, it is unreasonable to expect more.

Dale Romans is in a relationship with Greg Fox?

You tell me...though I have to LOL at the thought, what's her name Gail Fox, she's the ex jockey. Regardless it was a waste of 5 mins of my life.

I just watched the video on BloodHorse. It was an exciting race. Winchester and Gio Ponti were together nearly the entire race, around 8-9 position, and then . . . well, I'll let you watch.
