I'm in middle of this one. Obviously NY has the best racing anywhere, but lets face it, Grade 1's are no longer Grade 1's anywhere...that includes NY. Commentator is a shadow of who he use to be and the rest of the Whitney field was a joke. The Alabama tomorrow is another joke. Look at the field we just had for the Sword Dancer, another so called Grade 1. Lauro was 7/1! What does that tell you?

Then you have Del Mar, a once great place with real dirt that has been turned into a virtual toy track. I dont think I have watched more than 2 races all meet. Seeing the entries makes me cringe and reminds me not to bother to DVR.

Its everywhere, but NY has been the best at least at attemping to put out great racing.

Looking forward to the Travers, Woodward, Forego and then Oct 3rd at Belmont where its going to be perhaps the best card ever assembled anywhere. Cant say I am looking forward to anything in California except maybe seeing the Dodgers in the playoffs!
