Say what you want about NYRA but as the guest of an owner I used to work for and as the guest of friends who train and own, I never once saw the horseman and their guests treated with anything less than total accomodation by NYRA. They go out of their way to make the trainer and owners experience as pleasant as possible.
By the way Euro, you met Terry huh? Ask meyocks how he would have handled it. I know him, and hes a gentleman and one of the best liked people in the entire business by horseman and any fan with a grain of common sense. Terry never turned down anyone I know on tickets, passes, anything. Above and beyond the call of duty as far as horseamn and meeting their needs went. If I owned a racetrack, he'd be the first guy I would call to beg run it.
