I'm sure NYRA is happy to have a very good trainer coming to town, especially a trainer with his reputation. But I also think they are hopeful that he runs some of the few dozen horses he has more than he normally does. Horses in stalls that don't run is one of racings biggest problems.

If you told me Bob Baffert was coming with 50 I would be a lot more excited.
