The 'game' or, more precisely, those controlling it, could really give a **** about catching up with the times.

YET, the game is a lot better of than it was before for those playing it. More tracks means more options. And, the last thing that's making a comeback is gamblers going back to the track to bet. The interesting thing is that I could care less what happens to AQU or BEL, or even SAR. It's nice not being held hostage by my 'local' track(s). Plenty of other places to play. And, the degenerate arm pullers could hike it over to Jersey or start sniffing glue (assuming they aren't already).
NYRA seems to be making a pretty serious effort to "catch up with the times" in my opinion.
