Can someone explain why they do this and why (thank goodness) they dont do this at NYRA tracks?
They were dark at Gulf last year the day after opening day to "tweak" the new facility, whatever that means. Also, Calder runs non-stop the last 20 days of their meet except for XMas day, so it gives those workers a day off.
