I'm sick of this moron's annual stupidity. Nothing was outsourced. O'Brien's (Lemonade/Pretzel) and Howard's (Popcorn/Novelties) type items are going to be merchandised by Centerplate, NYRA's long-time contract feeding operator that replaced Aramark more than 10 years ago. With the addtion of contractor's like Danny Meyer, Centerplate has needed to find alternate revenue to justify their ongoing investments in all 3 facilities -- Saratoga, Aqueduct, Belmont. The concessionaire type business that Jack and Howard operated can help Centerplate generate revenue. The jobs involved with those kinds of stands will be manned by the same kinds of summer employees that have always manned them.

As for Carolina installations, the Backyard area is gone and the Paddock has been re-configured with nothing in the center area anymore. As a result, the Paddock Sausage cart is moving to the end of the Arcade Walk past the jock's room, and there is a 2nd Clubhouse cart added as well. Everything else is the same at Carousel, the Grandstand and Pavillion.

Where will you be broadcasting from ?
