It's those "sucky" cards that allow some of the smaller operations to make it through Belmont, regroup during Saratoga and then gear up through the Belmont fall for another winter at AQU. The smaller barns wait until the big guns leave town that they plan to have horses eligible for conditions in Dec/Jan/Feb that they would have no hope in during June/July/Aug.

Yea I know all that, Gary and Anthony's time to get fed. What will they do when the welfare truck leaves town when the GOV sells the joint. NJ breds do well at the fair grounds, and also in Kentucky. Most NY breds will never make it out of their conditions, and never run in open company, so they will attemtp to make more NY bred races for the loosers. Make sense I guess.
