As of last Tuesday evening the starting car is now opening a 100 feet later and closer to the finish line. Since Tuesday the 6 7 8 have been basically dead. If they try to leave they hit the turn right away and are dead. Yonkers has not released this info to the betting public. This was confirmed to me by 2 judges tonite. They said the racing secretary made the decision..I was told by 1 judge if I didn't like it I should not bet. Yonkers management is definitely looking to destroy racing at Yonkers.
I remember back in the 1990's when Yonkers moved the finish line closer to the turn and then they tried those wacky distances like 9/16, 1 1/8 etc.Up until then they had a decent crowd but after those changes and legalization of Lasix in NYS poof went the bettors.
Yonkers Jeff one of the 3 gamblers left at prestigious YR. Race secretary will do anything he wants and favors for his trainers. Business as usual.
And i thought that this was a pretty big deal---clearly i am tone deaf as to how irrelevant YR has become.....
Are you absolutely sure this has happened
