Over a million in purses and not one mention. Yonkers is awful.30 second second quarter is for Cumberland. Amazing.

Big stables monopolize the driving/racing by getting the best drivers -who get "favors" when they drive for them. Then when they get on a smaller stable -on a horse that isnt raging favorite--they will give up "holes" or stay out of everyones way-collecting favors along the way for when they need them when driving for top stables.Thats what it appears to me watching.
I would like to see that every horse has to have a different driver for 3 consecutive starts.
Depending on the class--fine drivers for going too slow second 1/4-enforce this-because drivers will vehemently protest this.
0ver 29 seconds in classes over nw/15000
Over 30 seconds in lower classes.

I agree with Anakin. Bank the turns big time and make the track more like Northfield or Delaware.It probably still wouldn't matter. At this level the horses on top aren't going to stop. Race is usually over in the first eighth. I said it earlier; it's half mile track racing. To those that said extend the track. That's not an option.(no room)
Northfield's banking isn't for every horse, especially some trotters.  I'd have to say that Delaware is one of the worst tracks to make up ground on the outside.  It's a half mile with 5/8 mile type turns.  As much as i like Delaware, it's definately a track for front enders.  Horses just seem to hang out there on the turns.  I guess if some people think that Yonkers is a set up track,  then you should be winning a lot of races there.  You've got it all figured out...right.  I like Yonkers.
