My experience is that owners want to see their horses while they are in Saratoga, and trainers often have to juggle various competing interests given the limited stalls they have here.

If we were talking stalls in NY now, you are correct, it would be meaningless. But let's not forget that for the last few years, there haven't been enough stalls at Belmont from April - November (once the grass season begins), and that situation will be exacerbated if NYRA closes Aqueduct for training. There will be more horses heading to the Oklahoma for off-season training as it is.

There's also a strip club out in Harborcreek that would win rave reviews from Scav.

37 for 175 - 21% wins - $3.45 ROI

But yeah - he's struggled a little bit in dirt races at Tampa - he's 3-for-202 since 2006 there. Winning at a 1.4% clip with an ROI of $0.13
