pro vs con starting your horse @ Flakes or Belmont

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You could always base the horse at PID even if it's a NY bred.

It will cost you no more than Finger Lakes. The MSW purse is way more, and though you'll be facing opens ... most of the horses who won the 2yo MSW races here last meet would have got killed even in sub-par NY bred MSW races at NYRA.

You also get to train on a brand new synthetic track that doesn't get chewed up in the mornings .. because there aren't many stalls on the grounds to fill with horses.
