if those picnic tables are where I think they are, that spot will be worse than the front row at a Dead show.
the notion that handicappers want to get a good look at the horses they bet on is a foreign one I guess, at least to NYRA. they've now cut off more than 80% of the paddock viewing area (unless you want to camp out all day in an area as uncomfortable as anything on the east coast).
it's nice having Maggie there, but she only touches on a small % of the runners. I don't mind Andy & Jason, actually think they do a good job, but the real estate their tent takes up is more valuable than any info we get. they should do the right thing and relinquish the area.
