Exactly. Not blaming NYRA, but the nd result is still the same.
Smaller field and many non-competitive fields.
Not sure what the answer is, but is it even being discussed?
At least for weekend racing.
Maybe have sub races for dirt on standby, make the decision late Thursday or Friday which to run? As it is now, when the race comes of and scratches happen, everyone's schedule is disrupted anyway.
Maybe a 10%-15% purse bonus for MTO only horses? Weight allowance? Waiver claiming for MTO? Exception from allowance conditions for MTO?
"NW1X MCS, OC50,000 or MTO" clause?
