You can see "NY breds" by Kitten's Joy, Pulpit, Giacamo, Smarty Jones etc, etc. Makes it kind of tough to compete for NY breeders that use NY based stallions.

That must partly be a reason for sires like Utopia, Andromeda's Hero, Golden Missile, Smooth Jazz etc to locate to NY. Local breeders need access to compete with the carpet baggers.

You've got to be kidding with this.. For starters, the purses and awards, as well as NYRA's commitment to the NYB program, are outageously disproportionate to the quality of the racing. For that alone, the NY breeder should be grateful...

The monies made available to the poor, unfortunate "NY breeders that use NY based stallions" are STILL there after the 'carpetbagger' breeders' runners, who enhance the profile of the program, clear their NY bred conditions. It seems that at some point, every slow-moving NY bred barge manages to find a port...

IN POINT OF FACT... NY breeders who are using the NY sires should be grateful for the higher profile and more talented artificial NY breds as their presence in the program helps the muskrats amass earnings far out of whack with their talent by retaining NYB conditions LONGER.
