NYRA and NTRA should put up additional $1,000,000 for the Woodward

The Whitney was probably the racing highlight of the year.....though apparantly you missed Commentator even being in the race.

Mark Hennig trained Notional by the way.

Where exactly is the currently bankrupt NYRA going to come up with the money? The overnight purse account? The marketing budget (as Churchill did for the Foster)? If the NTRA wanted to do something, that's a different thing.

They will get it back in ticket sales and handle. Big Brown and Curlin at Saratoga could easily bring in an extra 20,000. Bigger crowd than the Travers. Probably even get some tv money out of it. ESPN would pick it up on ESPN2 or Classic.

$1,000,000 is always easier to part with when it isn't yours, I find.

They'd only need an extra 333,333 to show up to make up that extra million.

I was thinking Cowboy Cal. PG and all his cronies would show up

Actually, what is funny is that he said that the Haskell would do nothing for the horse, if they ran in the Haskell it would be because it is all about the money which they aren't. Apparently he underestimated Iavarone's sleaziness.
