Listers,
As long as the purse money continues to come from Resorts World Casino there, while I will lament the Big A's closing (first track I attended March 1, 1975)
It really is no big loss to the racing community.

Rupert Murdoch's New York Post is sourcing this story using press releases from an animal welfare non-profit, a marriage of convenience, not love, for both participants. There is absolutely no bottom to Republican cynicism or hypocrisy.
Good for NY Governor Hochul: she always makes an appearance at the Saratoga meet and now she's doing something financially prudent to bring Belmont Park up to standard. If there's a track in America whose closing wouldn't be a disaster for horse players, it's Aqueduct.
