At Yonkers, it seems that they don't really care if they have full fields. A lot of 5 and 6 horse's go to the gait. You just have to go around the track to get a check. Then why would the race secretary write conditions of NW6656 when it would be a NW6000 or NW16751 which would be NW 16000 is it only so a horse fits. Or is it to do a favor for a trainer who races every week, Ron Burke or Per Engblom. I know that the condition is open to anyone that fits, but you still end up with low money earners that do not have a shot at winning. It is just making easier for the bigger stables to just slam horses in the entry box. https://www.soaofny.com/yonkers-race-program
Oh and they forgot to mention the 3 Billion Dollar economic impact from horse racing in the state of New York
Is the revenue restaurants ,hotels and bars surrounding the Saratoga 8 week meet factored into any of this?The revenue generated the by the bars and eateries and hotels around the Saratoga tbred meet is staggering.The Adephi Hotel charges a minimum of $1k a night during that 8 week period-i wonder if any of that revenue counts.
