I think its been a rough winter and once KP opens it typically gets worse. Not everyone bets pick 4/5's, so using that as a benchmark is not ok.. Many people still play horizontally and those players have far less opportunity.. Certainly not blaming anyone at NYRA I am sure they would love to card great races but even with Parx on a break there has not been a increase in fields. Most races with a 40k plus purse seem to attract less then 8 which seems counter intuitive. Maybe Laurel has hurt more then a Parx closing helped. It has not been a strong meet IMO and has not been in years. Oddly its my favorite.
