If NYRA wants to get serious thay have to have passionate and informative people doing there shows. The replay stuff is great as well but that will all come if they start to listen to people like Serling and his type of player. Otherwise "heads" will continue to be the norm.. might as well put a hat on me and listen to my inane horse opinions with the crap they currently have on.

No doubt, from a players' standpoint, it would behoove NYRA, and other tracks, to solicit, and utilize, the opinions of 'professional' handicappers when it comes to things like camera angles for replays, qualifications of stewards and chart callers, etc.

But all this **** is just excuses. The turf sprints at BEL, for example, wouldn't presently be playing any easier if I had better quality replays with better angles, or more accurate charts. The game is tough, any way you cut it. It just would be nice to not have to do the XTRA work that one would typically expect the track to handle. Provide accurate data and make it easy to access this data. Anything more is gravy; anything less is just not enough.
