well, we all are giving our opinions, i think the 2007 log is more to the season
and has a jockey-horse to represent the race, along with the right colors.

I agree re: less is more, though I think he has a point about the dreary colors. A brighter tone to reflect when the race is run would be nice. Maybe they're just trying to make everyone forget how freaking hot it was last year.

"Hidden Oaks", a new subdivision being built just outside the city. "Relaxed rural living, city amenities at your fingertips"

I prefer it when the image on a horse racing poster instantly makes anybody looking at it (not just long-time fans) realize it's about horse racing.

I'm afraid that most non New York horse players would not know the significance of this logo's symbolism.

At first glance I thought it was a giant moose in search of some big apples.

Hey it is a one year logo..............it hardly matters.

Yeah your right no one knows that the Belmont Stakes is a horse race. They really need a horse in it. Look at this one I found for a bowling alley in Detroit with extra large lanes opening on Feb. 5th.

Quite a variety
