The problem is that they let trainers scratch horses just because they feel like it, with no apparant reason.
This is really not a good sign going forward for the sport.
Things appear to be getting worse not better, although casino slot revenue is breaking records every month.

One of the things that NY racing does that i don't agree with is all these horses entering and scratching for no particular reason other than the trainer or owner probably handicapped the race and didnt like what they saw. If i was running the track, you enter, you run and if you dont run, you get penalized. If you don't like it, race someplace else.
But, since its a trainers and owners game, you arent going to ever get places to care about the product as much as they care about the whishes and whims of horse owners and trainers.
