Newsflash: White Star Line has given approval to install super comfortable deck chairs on the Titanic!
Well, I know there has been a void left by the old Waterford Park, the only place in North America where a $1500 claimer could run on the grass, but this is just silly.
No offense to Finger Lakes, but spending money to install a turf course there is a complete waste. The only horses that run there are, egads, statebreds too slow to race on the NYRA circuit, supplemented by other horses too slow to make it anywhere else in the northeast. Unless they think they are going to raid Fort Erie.
If they really want to do something, turn it into a one mile harness raceway a la the State Fairgrounds, and close all those half mile raceways upstate.
