The customers aren't paid 6 figure salaries to fix the problems of NYRA. NYRA Execs are. Meanwhile Monmouth faces the same issues and they at least try a novel approach to fix the problem and will be stealing Belmonts lunch money while NYRA remains curled up in the fetal position crying about the lack of slots. Sorry to piss on your parade but tomorrows card is a joke.

I don't disagree that Monmouth has tried a novel approach. Who knows if it will work.
To suggest that NYRA doesn't try just plain ignores the multiple problems caused by interference from inept politicians ruining the game in NY. You don't think NYRA would like to cut some days from the racing calendar. Good luck with that given the high number of mandated days to satisfy the OTBs. You don't think NYRA would like to cut takeout. Again, the pols have forced NYRA to institute a higher takeout than they want. And in the most ridiculous of all things, NYRA can't live stream its own video signal because the OTBs object and the NYSRWB cowtows to the politically-connected OTBs. Is NYRA perfect? No, but to suggest that they don't try is not fair to them.
And don't worry about me, my friends and I will enjoy the sport tomorrow.
