I agree. I attended the meeting where the horsemen discussed the track, condition, etc., with NYRA management. It was a very good meeting although I think there were some issues. One issue, which could have been addressed before the fact, was that I am not sure how many people (trainers) felt there were "major" issues with the track. Of course "major" is a relative term.
Also, because there were a very few very vocal that appeared to be the driving force, I am not sure this was the most efficient and effective approach. Regardless, NYRA was very receptive and immediately followed up and took action. I think the major issue was the track being sealed, more as an isolated issue, but of course everyone is going to have their own issues. The track super felt completely blindsided and was caught completely off-guard, and while that might not be important, I think it might be more indicitive of the tone or environment.
I think the approach is key here -- solving problems, by working together; or working against, force, or at least the appearence or tone of working against.
