For the fans its a great concept..I think it ultimately makes NY horseman and NY based operations significantly stronger. Who do you think will be winning these pots? I have a hunch every sharp trainer will have an eye in the condition book and most won't be NJ trainers. Again, for usfan its great news, I really don't care about the viablity of NJ racing or its horseman, I just care about the racing.
