No kidding. For a while NYRA was basically a branch of organized crime.

yes it needs to be cleaned up or replaced by a group from NY racing, for NY racing.

Great, but it sounds like the same criminals, with the same organized crime connections.

I dont understand this slogan. If you want NY racing for NY then why do you allow simulcasting? Racing is for everyone to enjoy, not just New York. Heck, let CD have that attitude and see how your people in New York like it when you cant send a horse to the Derby or wager on the Derby--yeah I can see it now. Churchill Downs Present the Kentucky Derby 138. You must be a Kentucky Bred to enter and you can only view the and wager on the race if you live in the state of KY. Yeah that is real real smart.

oh snap out of it, lol. Woodbine has joined Empire Racing as partner for the bid. Whoever wins will have to generate more funds for NYS than NYRA can.

Oh now I am getting the entire story from DRF on opening day at Saratoga. $15 was totalled handled, $3mm plus was wagered at the track. Mutual Clerks were late getting to their posts on the backstretch--they prob were putting in some counterfiet bills into their pockets. Of course this is an improvement from last year where mutual machines broke down--lol. Way to go NYRA. You fixed the tote machine problem.

Hope you imbeciles and morons who bash NYRA with groundless and baseless accusations that you only have because you read it somewhere in some rag have a great day!!!

Well what is going on up there this summer. I love Saratoga racing, more than anywhere else, but where are all the fans?

What do you mean where are all the fans? Has attendance been significantly down this year? Anyone have the attendance figs?

Well with the extreme heat and rain as well, I would doubt that attendance would be as high. Of course noone cares, why would anyone care? Its about handle, not attendance. Handle is what makes things go.
