weather.
Action resumes sat night 6p
-
Weather is fine, like it was last week when they canceled due to weather, when Amtote was down.
They need to fire their track crew and hire someone competent, that's the real issue there.
-
Is it true the only piece of track equipment they have is a screen. The track man has an ongoing competition with the NYSDT on which surface can be the hardest, the Thruway or the track.

Absolutely 100% correct swanktoliver A, the crew has no idea on what they are doing on how to maintain a track. Last week they were scraping about 6 inches of the track when it rained. Then they drag a screen around in circles. That’s what happens when you got idiots doing a job that don’t know what they are doing. Look how many times last feb/ March they cancelled cause the track was horrendous. Mohawk, Yonkers, meadowlands and many more tracks race no problem all day and night in the rain. Only at Buffalo when it thaws a bit or rains 1 100th of a inch they cancel. Fire that track crew and pay a decent wage to someone who knows how to properly maintain a racetrack .

You really think buffalo cares about racing ? ngc3
-
WNY horsemen rep(huge salary little work) is in sunny Florida as usual Cant be bothered very bad temper if you question these things

You are spot on. Multiple trainers have said he has no clue what he's doing. It's really sad for the horsemen, when they cancel half the time, especially when they already only race twice a week.

I believe that, and it's truly sad. Hope you're doing well
-
Thanks no complaints Honest horsemen up there have ZERO chance The no-goods rule and they know it Also why don't they give the Sheriffs deputy who was killed up there Give the family a$25000 check out of their purse account A great gesture but no way it happens

So why doesn’t management just fire the track man and get a new one.
-
Like Drawbar said, maybe they just don't care if they race or not. Seems to be the case cause this
certainly isn't anything new.

Idk the answer to that, wish I did.
Dylo doesn't know what he's doing, and should have been replaced before this meet started.

Because no one else will take the job for what they pay

So then maybe they need a change in management
-
Nasty, icy weather in western ny good luck to the crew that has to get that surface safe and raceable...

They certainly do need a management change.

It's been a very mild winter with only a couple of significant snow events, this year. Neither of which Buffalo was even racing yet.
But yes, usually they get hammered in Hamburg in the Winter.
One reason why I've always wished they'd extend the Batavia meet to push back Buffalo until April,when the weather is nice.
-
Did the mgmt give rain checks to the five fans that made it to the track?
-
Handle is like 7k a,race close it
-
Absolutely the worst PM track in the world.most fair tracks are better. Oh.. It is a fair track, sorry.
-
Hamburg NY calling for 3-6 inches of snow might as well hang the cancel sign.
-
I don't care what track, fair grounds or training center you're at some people bitch, it's to hard it's to soft. Who wants the job, on a great track, ya got lucky. Shitty track, your're an idiot. Thankless job. Not many good track men anymore, crappy hours and pay, miserable weather and people.
-
Good track men get paid well, bad ones don’t
-
lot of scratches tonight

You mean a ‘fair’ track that races for good money!!
