Title: Is that accurate?

Only $300,000 TOTAL HANDLE for Yonkers on a Friday night?
9 races total with short fields ….
Sad how it’s become a terrible product where only trainers and drivers are making money
What’s the latest on the 1 month extended contract with MGM that should’ve expired by now?

Nobody wants to waste time betting that merry go round crap!  Fixed races. Same shit different day!  I watched a couple last night . Race 7.   Bartlett #4 ..made sure he didn't hit the board. Was happy with 5th.  A bunch of cheating scumbags...both trainers and drivers!  Other tracks out there that have actual racing.  Hope that eventually Yonkers goes bye bye

    Stiffing and cheating and fixing with those handles?  You have quite an imagination!  ngc3   Big purses and low handles make stiffing very doubtful!!

Trainers, drivers and vets take all the money. On the surface it looks like the place to send your horses but eventually they will break down a nice one on you. And yes, the racing is shit and there are better options to watch and wager.
