I went to the last BC at Belmont and have to say that I was disapointed with how NYRA ran the whole thing. Slow tellers, little to no tote machines. It was a total mess in my eyes. It completely affected my handicapping and prevented me from calling audibles on my bets throughout the day. I'm hesitant to go to Churchill this year because of last years experience. I'm wondering if this is typical for BC day or will Churchill do a better job of running it. I would love to go if I thought it is going to be run better. I'm wondering if anybody has any insight on Churchill during the big days.

You might have gotten chosen before hand because you work for Churchill Downs....makes sense if you ask me

I sent in my app months ago, but haven't heard a peep from NTRA. Figure they'd give you an email notice or something of the like.
