Richie,

Another good piece from your future job as racing journalist. Your editorial and provocative writing is more thought provoking than "some" of those stale DRF writers, we read day in and day out.

But since you are going to the track, why not pick a few winners? I see you got a couple of races of professional maidens that remind me of a typical Keystone Park Friday. Hey I'll give it my best shot and try to dope out a few winners together with you? Should we go through a couple of races? Or do you find it more fun to do it on the fly?

Anyway, keep up the good work. You are the new Voice of the NYRA Gambler.

When did the Inner track open for winter racing in NY?
