I doubt I'll be able to make it and who knows what comes of it, but as a bettor and fan, this kind of outreach is much appreciated. Kudos to NYRA.

"First ever"? Certainly a nice and positive initiative, but it's hardly the 'first ever'.. I get that Cuomo and Co. would like people to think they're writing some inventive new chapter at the Association, but when Steve Crist was at NYRA in the 90's he instituted identical public summits that were held monthly during his three year tenure.

Hold on didn't modern racing start when Curlin broke his maiden like Jess Jackson (may he rest in peace) claimed? Perhaps they are just using AC years?
