This whole witch hunt. . . Racing fans always complain that we don't get enough attention and now that we are virtually every word of every article is bogus and misinformed. . .

Can't say I particularly disagree.

Something has to be done about the Aqueduct main track, but I would rather they fix the current dirt surface so it can handle a decent amount of rain.

I don't think status quo is gonna cut it. NY needs a dramatic move forward in horse racing and the time is now. An industry leader opportunity is here.

To expand. Intuitvely speaking. The industry in the USA is suffering. Therefore an opportunity exists to capture a large portion of capital looking to invest in the sport. Massive investment is needed in NY to solidify a position of leadership in this sport now. The competition is weak and now is the time for NY to move comprehensively forward, imo.

I think it's pretty obvious on here that most New Yorkers don't like the synthetics.They are indeed a safer surface(despite the crap you will read from nuts that make as much sense as Turks denying the Armenian Genocide.) Of course,if trainers think they can get away with running horses that have bad problems,then the stats may not show them to be safer.I don't think the majority of New Yorkers care about safer surfaces though,and they have enough horses so that they don't need to switch (to be able to have their horses get back to racing quicker.) Doesn't seem to be a lack of New York breds.They seem to be a pretty hearty bunch.Just keep telling everyone that break-downs are all random,and people are stupid enough they will keep believing it.Repeat a lie enough,and people are stupid enough they will believe you. Doesn't matter how hard that track was Saturday,it's random right?I wonder just how many are gunna come out of that day's races with little random problems.How many lil chips are going to randomly appear? When you hear about this or that injury to Big Brown,just remember that hard fast track Saturday.The chances of that horse running in the Preakness and Belmont without coming up with an injury .......are not good.Smarty,Alex,Giacomo etc. etc. All random injuries,right?
