This is funny stuff given I posted the following on July 7th....

If field size is the same as 2021, and the weather is comparable, we will likely do similar numbers. Those, however, are big ifs.

The weather was comparable, field size was virtually the same, and we were up almost 8%....but you still pretend gas prices and the economy were a drag on our numbers.
I will continue to assume that you are just trolling as the alternative is kind of scary.

I never said the gas prices and economy was a drag I specifically stated the numbers could have been better. No fault of NYRA or Saratoga obviously.
BTW when will you be addressing the groom drug bust and Chad Brown issue ? I mean you comment on EVERYTHING else. Why ignore those topics ?

If NBC (with Mike Tirico) broadcast the Travers, they would not of ducked the Chad Brown issue. I was surprised FOX said nothing at all about it.

I agree. The Chad Brown issue and the groom drug bust. Any other sport with a scandal tied to it Fox has covered. Why does Chad Brown specifically get a pass ? The only reason I can come up with is he has something on someone. The guy is bold too. He was in the winners circle several times with a smug look on his face. Given the situation NYRA should have at the very least suspended him from the track pending the hearing.

They addressed it the day it became public. There wasn't really much to say then, and really isn't now either. What are they supposed to do other than report the known facts, which they did?
