Andy I would imagine they petition for it to save face with the horseman, look if NYRA really wanted this thing they would have had it by now, IMO.

disagree completely about the debacle. i thought monmouth did a good job, and just had to deal with nature, which is something no one has control over. also had rainy weather at arlington, does that mean they won't ever get it again?

belmont has tried, repeatedly.

the issue isn't whether other tracks have tried (they have), the issue is that regardless of what the other tracks do, or the state (ky had a tax break if the racing was there at least once every 3 years), the issue is that santa anita has a seeming stranglehold for some reason. what's that reason? it's not lack of want from others, it's not handle, it's not attendance....
so, what is it?
