I hadn't given the hoppers a serious going-over in years, and I did so Wednesday/Thursday getting the winner with the Most Likely tab Wed. and Best Value selection today. I didn't use the voucher as I was doing something before the first yesterday and couldn't get away, but the majority of media outlet types that were included thought it was a novel gesture.

Only one utter phony took a vocal stand against the concept.. a sour, unhappy, small person who claimed to be above taking the voucher but cheerily walked out of a NSA Golf Outing last year with a swag gift bag worth more than $300. Also consumes press box lunches at Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct. Maybe 300 of them a year at $5 or $6/day?

The box lunch at $5 per is the best value of the NYRA eating options... (obviously not counting Carolina BBq and house of Pies)
