Horsemen decided to boycott the first race at AQU on Sunday..I don\'t get it, can someone explain to me how this helped?  
A racefan goes to the track to see live racing and gets shafted for one of the races is how I see it.

MO: Think back to the days of the Aqueduct jockey strike in 1988. Action on the part of the people most affected produced results.
