What bothers me is the bias of the press, notably the DRF. The written press seems biased to the east while the television press (TVG, HRTV) are biased to the west coast. It's tough to see a big race on hold while TVG shows the post parade at Fairplex.

I love the happenings at both Deleware and Colonial. It just goes to show you if you have ambitious managment and cooperative state govt. good things can happen in this sport. Out here in Boston we have none of that. Did once when Ruffoto was managing Suffolk Downs but he went on the Marlyland. the State govt. out here would just assume that the track just wither up and die. It's a shame because, if there was quality racing out here it would work. So many people from New England make the annual trip to Saratoga. The market is there. It's sad
