I know the state says NYRA has to run certain days and Aqueduct has to run so there hands might be tied a bit. I would not be pumping up Aqueduct purses though. Like you said, its winter in NY. I would wait and go insane around Wood Memorial time through Cigar Mile day. Let Saratoga run 1 million a day in purses if possible, if not more. Promote Belmont more. I know everyone loves Saratoga, but both Belmont meets have racing thats on par with Saratoga. The actual racing is great.

As I understand it the slot money doesn't kick in until January. I am pretty certain that there will be bigger and better betting races at the Big A after the New Year. Patience, I know we have been waiting for 10 years, but the New Year should bring much better competitive races.

I vote for closing it down for 3 months and have an uber Saratoga meet and pump up Belmont Aqu purses.

If they could do that its 100% the way to go. December 1st through Feb 1st should be dark in NY. They are the only game that matters after the Derby until the BC anyway.
