Instead they added 5 overnight stakes costing NYRA $500,000 NYRA money and they still do not have a 10F race for older horse at Saratoga. I think that is a disgrace for a track of Saratoga’s renown.

We all love Evening Attire and have enjoyed him forever but what's good for the game has to be more important then watching him in a race that wil not do as much for NYRA as others. I guess it sucks but he isn't going anywhere and there will be other suitable races coming up .. And we will all be waiting and rooting for him to run them down late just not at Saratoga.. Maybe when he finally retires they will rename some race after him..
