Stronach has all the money in the world to buy the New York Tracks. His MEC isnt doing all that well because they keep taking one time charges that hurt their bottom line. Just read the MEC end of year report from 2005 and it explains all that.

Churchill only charges $2 to get in the doors with the exception of Derby and Oaks day. You can get in on Derby day for $40. Travers is costs $25 to get it. So only $15 more for the biggest horse race in the world. That is not a bad deal at all.

Churchill also doesnt need a detention barn because of their new drug policy. So a detention barn is pointless in Kentucky.

AMEN. Non-profit=Scam. Let's stop putting the Travers in the same category at the derby too. The derby is so far superior to the travers it isn't even funny.

The Travers is nothing special. Trainers often opt to go to the Haskell. It so rarely includes the west coast it isn't even funny. The KY Derby is world known and televised everywhere. What are we watching the Travers on ESPN2 this year. Get real.

You cant compare the Travers to the Derby--lol. That is ridiculous. Travers they get about 40 thousand people there. Derby day they have 150 thousand.

Look at the tv ratings too. Millions watch the derby, a couple hundred thousand the Travers.
