NYRA increases purses

Why can't they compete and if they cant GET OUT or find somebody who can develop a model which works not JERKS

Because the NYSRWB will not let them do rebate programs at the level that they would like, because of opposition from the OTBs.

Oh so now we are back to the state screwing the NYRA..

BTW is NYRA needs money whats the big deal with charging for stall space? If you are bankrupt and need money you had better start finding additional revenue from somewhere. Or should the tax payers just pay?

I will really bad for weathy owners having to pay 100 a month for a stall

No wealthy owners shouldn't have to pay that extra $5/day in dayrate. We all know horse ownership is a right of all americans and they shouldn't have to pay for it all. Let the middle-class pay for it with higher taxes. LOL

NYRA is a joke. Always has been, but that is what you get when you essentially have zero accountability. I can't wait for NYRA to pull out the "we are doing it for the children and education" or some lame pr stunt.

The costs of racing here in NY are already higher than other locales. If you raise the cost of doing business, the horsemen will take their horses elsewhere, and you can enjoy betting on small fields. Besides, most horsemen and owners are not the "wealthy" individuals you make them out to be.

Your kidding right? Maybe your right maybe NYBreds mdn claiming 25's should race at Finger lakes...Maybe racing in NY should be 4 days a week...maybe the poor poor horse horsesman that spend 50k on a NY bred Freud or Precise End we should have a benefit for them.. You know what if you can't make a living trainering 5 claimers in NY MOVE

I thought that this board was for people who were fans of racing. You seem to have such disdain for everyone involved in the business. Why are you here?

I love racing I have NO disdain for racing at all. But come on with the poor owners routine. There is no such thing. If you can afford a race horse you can afford alot. The NYRA is a joke but I absolutely LOVE racing and horses.
