Its a smart marketing move from NYRA. Skidmore kids have lots of parental money to blow on the horses. Many of them already gamble and gamble big. I see them year round at the simulcast. A lot are probably sick of blowing their allowances on coke & booze. Why not target a ripe demographic that unlike most adults living here, actually have money to burn. These kids dont play by the same rules we did when we went to college. They dont live in dorms anymore...they own 600K condos and forget them ever picking up a vacuum cleaner, they all hire maids. Weekend ski trips, spring breaks in Maui, 60K cars...the rules have changed fellas.

I think its great to bring new blood into a sport like horse racing.

Maybe Saratoga will even hire younger bartenders this year.
