Bee,

The meet will be fine, racing wise, though I suspect that grass races will be oversubscribed and dirt races tougher to fill.NYRA will card too many races, per usual,watering down quality.

Agree with frontside facelift but backyard changes horrific.NYRA could easily accommodated picnic table situation without money grab. As far as those families that you correctly note come with food etc, me thinks they are part of the whole SPA experience even though they don't bet much $$. Nice families blending in with us degenerates, it's Americana!

Stand by my rants that Chris Kay is a f-king idiot and NYRA is the most incompetent group running a major venue.NYRA's disregard for the gambler is disgraceful.
