All things considered NYRA did a great job for the TOGA meet. Hopefully next year they get back to 2019 on track attendance levels as they were expectedly down this meet. I know two people who own food trucks that were down 30% from 2019. They didn’t have much of an explanation other then attendance was noticeably down during the weekdays. Apparently a lot of those paid for admissions that were bought well in advance never made it to the track. Maybe the uptick in the covid variant scared some from coming. In any event they had a very successful season. Can’t wait to see what next year brings...hopefully more turf racing.
