For anyone who is interested in what NYRA is going through and what it\'s planning, I recommend this blog entry from Left at the Gate:

Does anybody play NYRA anymore? Outside of Belmont Stakes Day and Saratoga, the racing stinks. Way too many NY bred races and turf sprints for me. Kee, CD, OP, FG, and the Fla tracks get most of my action.
I am a New Yorker and I have played the NYRA all of my betting life. Nowadays if I play one race from Aqueduct while the good tracks are running it is alot. I have never seen such bad horses running against each other at an NYRA track. Every race is usually a small field with two coupled entries and the few races that do come in at more than 8 betting interests are usually complete Chaos NY Bred races...I am finished with Aqu except on Cigar Mile, Gotham and Wood days...Belmont though is when things get good so don\'t write off the NYRA tracks, just the Aqueduct meets..
