Not sure if you realizze just how horrible the Pa. stock currently is. Winning BSF's at PID for 40k mdn spls are in the 40's or low 50's. Pa. breds that look fast sell for 25k at two year old in training sales. DrugS and I have won starting in a few weeks she should be odds on in such a race and in NY she may have to run for 20 MDN CLM.
The PA bred stock is probably going to improve pretty quickly with the money they are giving out now. By the time your foal is dropped and ready to run I will bet Beyers of 50 will not be winning PA bred Md Specials. The NY breds will bring money at the sales too if they look good. I sold a NY bred Aptitude yearling colt who I forgot to make Breeders Cup eligible for $120k (and the mare wasn't a stakes horse by any means). You probably couldn't go wrong either way. One word of advice is to make sure you make the foal eligible for the NY Stallion series. Some of those races really come up weak and a muskrat could win a pretty fair pot.
By the way, I'm shocked you would have such a pessimistic view of our wonderful state's government.
