I don't know how the politicians involved in this can look at themselves in the mirror let alone face the public. As a horseman in NY I am just disgusted with the whole process. I hope my NY breds can compete out of town because I don't see this coming to a good conclusion any time soon.

this is horrible for the horseman in Ny this winter who rely heavily on the purses during the winter months. If there is stoppage of racing then i would have to think that most of the Ny breds are going to be hurt the most, especially the mdn claimers. I would doubt that they can compete anywhere else. Im sorry you have to through this aggrivation. Hope things turn the corner soon!
