This racing is VERY important to me, and probably quite a few people here, as well as the entire industry. To flippantly act as though you were ready, and eager, to take on that burden ( when in fact your were not ) is an insult to everyone involved in this game.

The decision on this franchise is a very serious one.
Most people on here or casual racing fans care more that whoever wins(if NYRA doesn't) won't ruin Saratoga. That's the jewel. The winter meet at AQ doesn't have a powerful lobby. In fact, horseplayers don't have any lobby at all....Slots are king. Grandma needs to get those nickels in there or else.
