New York racing was put in a hole when they established OTB as a seperate entity. I go to Saratoga every summer, and I am still stunned by the crazy simulcast rules that limit access to other venues, etc...If NYRA, CD, or Magna run racing, it won't matter!
BTW, it is my understanding that the port authority owns the land on which Aqueduct sits, and they are supposed to vacate at some point in the future so that Kennedy can expand. I vote for NO winter racing, run at Belmont, then Saratoga, but keep it open from august to november. It is the best place on the planet to watch a race.
