Face it, nobody cares about the Travers except horse racing fans. The KY Derby is a huge event, the rating are huge every year. The Travers would get cut for little league baseball, because little league baseball gets higher ratings.
Of course I believe in a free market. And the fact is that NYRA has always chosen not to rip people off at Saratoga, whenthey could have easily raised seat prices or admission prices in a huge fashion. They did not, and because of it fans should be grateful.
So what are you doing today after you get done with another episode of "as the imbecile rants" on here. My guess is that the next thing you have scheduled could cause you to go blind.

How is a nonprofit the free market? I see, you like it when it benefits you, but if a nonprofit running things means cheaper prices for you, than it is ok. Gotcha.

The next thing I have planned is class. Then tomorrow I am going to KY for a week to visit my friend who is doing an internship there. I am going to go see Lava Man, Great Hunter, Gorella and Cacique and go on a tour of Three Chimneys. Then I am going to the Breeders Cup. All I had to do is pay for the plane too.

Are you going to the Breeders Cup. Me, Nostradamus, George Washington, and their grandfather are going.

Thats a great tour man, Three Chimneys is a great outfit. A truly good operation not only in the quality of the sires that they stand, but in their business plan. I've read about the owner and his concept and it certainly seems to have established them as "the" place to stand one. Hes running a boutique operation rather a department store, meaning that by limiting the stallion roster that each horse gets the care and marketing that helps them to succeed. Snap some pictures of Smarty if you would and please post them.
Kentucky is an awesome place and I leave for it on Tuesday and can barely wait.

When I went to the farm Smarty was one grumpy horse. Yes Its True and Point Given were as friendly as ever. Albert The Great was also a well behaved horse. War Chant was lead out to breed and Smarty about busted down his stall because he was jealous. It was funny.
