I appreciate the 'brave' front. And you can get as many of the less informed on this forum to agree with you as you want BUT, as someone whose turf opinion is every bit as good or better than my own, I know that it must be getting to you. The TURF RACING IN NY could be so much better than it has been recently. And, the rain has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's probably a combination of poor work on the part of Campo AND, more importantly, less available horses. People aren't shipping in the way they once did.

So, anyone interested in competitive turf races needs to play multiple tracks, where, in the past, at this time of the year, the place to be was (almost exclusively) NYRA.
