Is this about a bad dining experience at Equestris?

Let's take a look at how "journalists" have handled the situation at NYRA. They understandably took the hard line with takeout fiasco and NYRA responded in kind. That is a situation that won't be rectified easily, but NYRA will do what it can. Last week, the Albany Times-Union decided to start an embarrassing witch hunt about the NYRA Rewards ADW policy on deposits. They were wrong, and even the most avid NYRA dissenters dismissed the piece as idiotic.

What exactly should someone like Andy say about the racing on air? Those of us that follow NYRA on a regular basis are well aware that the caliber of horses that have stayed up north is better this year. The majority of the people who question the quality of racing at this year's meet have not been playing the inner track on a regular basis.

I can't speak to what the live experience at Aqueduct is like as I have not been there, but some of what you've said is a little difficult to understand.
