Silver:
Slots already on the way in NY; eta March/ April 2006.
Yes the 1-2 finishers began at Del, as did High Limit. Do not forget, however, that the 1-2 finishers were also NYRA stakes winners.
Silver, the way I prefer to look at it is that Kentucky and NY are the only states where racing is still strong enough to survive without slots if they had to. IMO, no amount of slot machines will ever make Mountaineer, Delaware or Philly Park a racing venue which can compete with NY, KY
or Florida.
With regards to Lost in the Fog-- hypothetical one turn 1-1/8th race at Bel, full field, LITF and Alex included. What result? 1-1/16th? (No, Going Wild is not in the race)
Bizarre afterthought: Anyone notice that the 1-2 finishers in the DERBY both showed a running line to Class Handicapper's favorite colt, Texcess?
