I've got to disagree with you on this one, my good man.
New York has always been far and away the racing capital of America. There are far, far more racing fans ... and much greater enthusiasm ... here than in any other market.
New York purses should be triple the purses elsewhere ... but they're not. Any differential ... and by the way you're wrong if you look at the Del Mar purses ($68,000 MSWs) ... isn't due to the NYRA ... it's due to the size and scope of the market ...
... and would be much greater under better ownership and management.
