Almost a quarter billion US dollars in handle, full fields with great racing. The info they provide and that is available is second to none. The replays are in HD with some very helpful angles , especially at the gate.

Also it seems so transparent that everything the horse does gets recorded. Horse goes for a swim, they note it, every equipment change down to the bits the horses use, if they bled, any vet treatments, stewards notes f interested, which horses got tested and why after the race, jockey interviews explaining a poor performance.

And almost 70,000 through the turnstiles. And by the look of the crowd, there were all types there. Young,old,male and fenale.

Why can’t we do this here?

And why wouldn’t a track or organization like NYRA implement what is working in Hong Kong.
They are thriving , while the US is on life support, having meaningless meetings in Arizona while the status quo endures. Very hard to square the two scenes, what once was here is now there, and no there here.
