Well, some of the recent cards have been criminal! :rolleyes:

Like the miserable excuse of a race for the opener.
Looks to me like there are not a lot of horses in that condition looking for races - why bother carding it to begin with?

A few more should be escorted off the grounds.

That's a big deal. I assume we'll hear why at some point.

On another note, a "spokesman" actually put together this quote?

Though no reason was given, NYRA spokesman Pat McKenna said Salvato has “been trespassed from NYRA properties as of Jan. 25. As it is a personnel matter, we won’t be commenting any further.”

They had trouble filling the Thurs card, wonder if that's related to this.

I believe that’s a localized legal term. It means he has been warned not to enter any properties or he will face trespassing charges. Here in Texas it’s called a “trespass warning”

It was the same in Ohio. I’ve had to give a few in the presence of an officer here in Texas. They note it in their computer system for future reference. You can also do it by certified mail etc. in NY I’ve heard it referred to as being “trespassed”

Interesting. I've never heard of it in that manner. I stand corrected.

:lol:

If every racing official who couldn't fill a racecard these days was locked up, they'd have to build a lot more prisons...

Why should the NYRA comment any further on this? This isn't any business of the betting customer who keeps this game alive. :rolleyes:

It could well be the business of the owners, the most important customer in the sport. :rolleyes:

When a top employee doesn't just get fired but banned from all their tracks, then it's likely this wasn't a small mistake he made but instead something quite wrong and purposeful.

I want to know more about the database?

Hopefully the authorities took all the cards he put together for this week with them! :lol:

the people that access to the computer at the racing secretary's office had a big edge. they knew who was entering in a race and if they thought they couldn't beat a horse they would hold off on entering their horse and wait for a softer spot. things like this can happen when the purses are this big. i am sure this goes on in other places too.
