Not looking to take a cheap shot to get a rise out of anybody in response to Steve and for the record my first priority from a betting standpoint has always been New York tracks since I started in the early 90's. I'm not anti NYRA biased as accused in another post either but am frustrated by their product. My sole bias is towards competitive racing with QUALITY betting options. While a BC winner may not be running in the Keenland stakes, they are competitive and highly bettable. And it isn't just the poly/dirt racing. Their turf stakes are superior also.
And sorry, I just don't see how you can sell those races last week or other maiden drenched cards as good, high quality racing. It's been getting worse in recent meets. Not sure why it's so difficult to admit that. That's not a jab, just a fact and I want it to get better.
