YONKERS BRING BACK THE PASSING LANE PLEASE!

[bond]

Ill admit-I had thought removing the passing lane would create more flow and make racing more exciting--I was wrong-dead wrong.
Racing is now worse--- if thats possible.
Its now easier for drivers to set up races and the Indian file is exactly the same.
Gamblers now bet LESS-because too easy for horses sitting on the fence to get trapped-so automatically cant win when they go to the inside.
Remove it--and lets move on.Experiment over.
Try a slanted gate and bring back the passing lane-and work out something better for the bettors please..

Absolutely right...much easier to set up races when you know the horse sitting 3rd on the wood has no chance.

[Rabbi Of Racing]

passing lane is the WORST thing that ever happened to harness racing

[Atthetrack7]

 Every track has a passing lane, pull on the right line to use it.

[mass hole]

half mile racing she be be abolished...it is gross and a thing of the past.....nobody bets on half miles......It is a joke passing lanes stink too...Better on a 7/8 or flat mile....my opinion

[Inside The Pylons]

Not true, Northfield Park routinely handles a million dollars a night.

[chief yogi]

passing lane created a lot of drop to the rail and wait. its just a different race style with a passing lane.

[lesstired]

Actually....EVERY ONE is wrong......



YOu need to bring back the hub rail........and bring back true


handicapping..... .


Yonkers freaked the whole thing up when they took out the hub rail....


and banked the turned so horses could slingshot....


that is where I stopped winning.....and STOPPED BETTING...


like all the old school YR guys...they went to Tbreds....

Total Handle: $386,009   12 races

more reason for mgm to get rid of racing

AS LONG AS THE HORSEMEN ARE GETTING THEIRS, I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF WE BAND GAMBLING ALL TOGETHER.  DEGENERATES ARE LOSERS TO BEGIN WITH AND ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF HORSEMEN ACTUALLY MAKING A GREAT LIVING WITHOUT THEM

[bigwrench]

  would be a better action
As nothing would keep the dump from being
The most boring racing on the planet

[Joe 4 all]

With numbers as bad as those with only Americans betting, it shows just how successful the France-Yonker partnership has been handle wise, over a million last Sundae
  Perhaps we should start at 6am to get a whole card in before darkness sets in over in wine country.  That has my blessing

How about a slow half rule? That is ruining racing for the gambler. Line ups with slow half at most tracks these days. The biggest handle track is northpuke and there is VERY RARELY a line up. Always balls to the wall there. Is that why people bet it so much? Bettors think they are given a shot every race?

+ the lineups are causing the handle to plummet especially with no passing lane. 1-2 leavers-get to the top back it down-backmarkers have 0 shot.
Look at the scratchings--every night the 7-8 posts have scratchings as waste of time/effort/money-going around for 0.
1) GET SLANTED GATE
2) BRING BACK PASSING LANE
3) GIVE 300$ EVERY NIGHT TO EVERY HORSE DRAWING THE 8 HOLE (EXCEPT IN HANDICAPS).
4) MAKE 29 SECONDS THE SLOWEST SECOND 1/4 ALLOWED.
5) MOVE THE FINISHING POST BACK WHERE IT WAS ALLOWING MORE STRETCH RUN
6) LET THE FIELD GO 50 YARDS AT LEAST BEFORE THE WINNING POST.DO LIKE POCONO AND MAYWOOD--HAVE THE CAR GO FAST AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE STRETCH SO WHEN YOU GET 50 YARDS BEFORE THE WINNING POST YOU LET THEM GO.
