Come to think of it, many a Graded Stakes race in New York this year has had very small fields.

Just my observation, no need to attack.

I'd take 4 horse fields at Belmont over 12 horse fields on the polycrap any day of the week. Why not just run indoors while we're at it. Throw in Mike Battaglia's voice and I'd rather eat Mcdonalds hamburgers all day.

I love to eat a Big Mac every now and then, no love for their milkshakes either?

Your kidding right? Mcdonalds shouldnt have the right to call those things milkshakes. Far and away the worst I have ever had. But I do like their sundaes and for $1, you cant beat them. Last week I was so depressed I went to Mcdonalds for lunch and ordered 2 supersize order of fries and 3 hot fudge sundaes.

Funny, I like to do this once a week. I go to MsDonalds and get a Big Mac and a Shake, then go to Wendy's and order a large fry.

If you live in Saratoga, go to the Rib-Burgers/Ice Cream place across the street from the new Best Western for Milk Shakes.

Get used to poly. It will eventually be everywhere. It saves horses and it saves a ton in veterinary bills. Poly might get us back to when horses raced more than 7-8x a year and should make for great field sizes.

Actually you dont save money on vet bills. They are reduced a little but not that much to make a fuss over.

i dont think you can make a fair assesment either way yet as far as vet bills go until you getta large sample of horses that train and run exclusively(year round) on poly, and that may even be skewed considering some trainers go to the vet alot more regardless whether it be legal or illegally
