why nyra threads are important

Kind of what I was thinking, so I laid off.

But while I'm here I'll put in my two cents. I'm not going to try to compare the racing and/or atmosphere of racing venues across the country as I've only been to Saratoga and Belmont. To say that any idiot could run NY racing? Not too sure about that one. NYRA has done a stand up job of promoting the sport and they've done an incredible job of improving their image. They are working on the bankruptcy situation and hopefully in due time that will be rectified. As far as wagering on tracks, just look at the handle of a NY track compared to many other locations. I've had a blast the past several days wagering at tracks around the country, but it's just not the same without Aqueduct running.
