Turf racing in Europe is good. They seem to have fewer breakdowns, their trainers are extremely good according to world thoroughbred rankings, and when you look at the jockeys, it is icing on the cake. It seems like turf racing is alive and well and NY and some other places are simply the best of the worst in the United States. It is an unfortunate truth that NY is a not doing particularly well. I remember being at the Travers in the 1980s and was really excited. Now it is so average. There are always state-bred races in New Mexico and New York to wager on in terms of competitive wagering I prefer New Mexico. They both survive on casinos sadly.
