Lies & Lying Liars that tell them

[ShadowRoll]

Although it's not a quick or convenient trip for me to NY, I've visited Aqueduct and Saratoga, and have been to Belmont many times, and almost always (Smarty's Belmont was a bit too crowded for my taste) had a good experience.

As to who is the most bettor-friendly, the proof is in the pudding. Lowest takeout on the east coast, and the NYRA has held the line on admission pricing, even for the big days like Belmont Day and when they hosted the Breeders Cup. This point was painfully brought home to me this year when I shelled out for a couple of tickets to see the BC at Monmouth.

At least as far as the bottom line for us common folk, I've got to believe that any other entity running the NY tracks will be bad news.
