"Also how is the success at Saratoga not a result of NYRA? As I recall that track was struggling for years before NYRA managed to make it a Racing Destination. I assume this had nothing to do with the advertising and promotion performed by Schwartz's son in-laws firm, it was purely coincidence and timing."

Hacker I think Saratoga's success is much more to do with Whitney and friends as it is NYRA. Without certain folks making SPA a fashionable 60 day retreat it might have become Vernon Downs.. That might be a bit of a stretch
