to each his own Steve....seems to me that horse racing is an outdoor activity that generally works best above 45 degrees with a few fans around. I am guessing you played the A race watching a tv simulcast. Anyone who follows professional sports or racing has suffered listening to some loud New Yorker types at a bar say that whatever is "NY" is the very best. In their mind nothing else compares.... unfortunately they also generally "share" their biased opinions with anyone nearby even without being asked. I agree with Frank.... some patrons would much rather be at Gulstream or Tampa winter meets on their worst day than Aqueduct on its best. Perhaps this winter you can wear a red knit ski-mask so we can pick you out as one of the six fans screaming obscene language at the losing jockey along the rail.
