I'm very satisfied with Panza's appointment, and what changes he's made (except for moving the Metropolitan mile, that was just a sacrilege). Creating a turf Triple Crown would be a wonderful achievement, and would probably attract even more European/foreign horses.
Now if we can only get rid of the unwanted guest, Chris Kay, and sell the franchise to someone versed in actual horseracing, rather than somebody who visited a racetrack 35 years earlier, and it made so much of an impact on him, he never went back until his NYRA appointment. The running joke at NYRA now is: Never try to get between Chris Kay and a camera, otherwise you risk life and limb.
