Isn't that great?

Well, not exactly..

CDI management -- in that unique, special way it has -- took the opportunity to promptly screw trainers that have been coming there for years out of stalls..

No loyal ATR participants I assume?

I'm guessing it's a bigger discussion.

I can tell you that FG's purse structure will make their racing even stronger and even more competitive- and I heard that from the new GP racing secretary.

With the convience of Delta shouldnt more owners and trainers at other venues consider the 750k gr3 purse of the Jackpot to help them get the earnings to qualify for the derby? Lot of complaints last year from some of the conections about the so-called easy money offered .

Loyal ATR participants were among BOTH the newcomers and the screwed.

You do realize that part of a trainer's job is to complain about the racing office.....right?

Just ask Chuck.

I know doc's aren't keen on punctuation, but note the comma in between "magic bullet" and "slots"

Am I missing something? Can you not bet on FG through NYRA Rewards?

It's one of my favorite meets of the year and I've been looking forward to opening day, so I hope that's not the case.
