with all its patronage there is no more powerful force in New York state racing than the OTB corporations.

The nice thing about YouBert, TVG, BrisBet, etc, is you don't have to play NYRA. There are many better tracks out there in term of field size and payoffs than NYRA. And with horsemen like these, I prefer to withhold every cent from their pockets. Give me cheap ole track anyday over Belmont or Saratoga. Sar is nioc eto visit once a year, but I do not like the racing there and Belmont is just not my cup of tea-one turn 9 fulong races? Yuck.
I will take Pen or DEl over Nyra any day of the week, no matter what stakes race is runing. And Los Alimitos is a fun track -4.5 fulong races are just as exciting as 35 furlong grass routes with 4 starters.
