EDIT: I didn't think Violette was dumb enough to do something like this. He's the proverbial 'smartest guy in the room'... according to himself.

Yep NYRA doesn't need the handle money? Of all things to do? Owners don't earn, Trainers don't earn, NYRA doesn't earn and all for what a 80 people and a Megaphone? It is important for State to make a decision but why this?

This explains why Valid Sum worked on Friday, if they all knew the first race wasn't going to run anyway.

On a positive note: 1) Campo actually carded another 5.5F race today --- go figure  Not like he's stuck in a 6F rut.2) The turf course is really, really green (which is the way NYRA likes it).

What were their options at 8am this morning when the Horsemen foisted this ill-conceived concept on them? You think NYRA just said, "OK Rick, that's fine. We understand." You don't think they actively tried to explain to Violette the stupidity of what he and the NYTHA were doing? How would you have handled the situation?
