Now if DM could scrape off the poly and put down a cushion you would have this year round.
By the way Todays card had 84 going in 8 races----over 10 average
Fridays card has 69 in 8 races----over 8.5

Yeah,and for all the praise that the New York "DIRT" racing gets,the thing that bails them out is that they breed all those cheap New York breds that are the healthiest of weeds.Really,how much self discipline does it take to realize they aren't that appropriate for wagering on? Not much...Look at that 1st race today at Belmont.I mean that's what you're gunna get with dirt racing(horses scratched,and a damn 4 horse field.) Actually Seeking the Glory has no shot to win,or place.That's a 54k purse.That's the money (that 54k) that comes from people betting.Now you tell me why we are paying 54k to see 3 horses compete? This is what they would have us go back to? No way.
