The proliferation of statebred races are a problem, but I'm not sure we aren't talking chicken and egg here. Statebreds are used to fill racecards because there aren't any other horses left. If you aren't a top horse that can run in stakes and allowances, there is no incentive to keep your horse in NY unless it is a statebred.

These races have taken off with the loss of the claimers. It is the same with the turf sprints, a previously unheard of race in New York. By far the worst are statebred turf sprints, though Linda Rice might beg to differ.
