If the NYRA can make money hand over fist thanks to the casino, and if the horsemen can get almost $100,000 purses for allowance and maiden races, then the starters who get beat up in the gate for 25+ years in order to retire should get bridge health coverage.
As far as I’m concerned, if the assistant starters are on strike then placing a bet on a NYRA race is the same as crossing a picket line. And I’m not doing that.
