    • $70k down oncourse.  but up $435k overall? I presume a nice profit is made on this day via eating and drinking?
    • i heard  andy mccook yesterday commenting that its going to be a sad time in the next couple of months with others as relates to employment.One can only guess what he means but the comment was made after he wished rail the best.So he did say couple of months. The greyhounds still have 6 months to go. when greyhounds shut down,that will be a very sad and difficult time for the over 1000 people employed in that industry. I would be good if there could be greater transparency from the government,the greyhound industry and the likes of the spca as to what actually is going to happen to all the greyhounds.That surely is a story that media should be highlighting and bringing to the attention of the public. as to the commentators dropping in numbers. theres other excesses that you would think will impact harness racing coverage.I know friday lights thing is enjoyed by people and is very good,but if i was a cost cutter,i would be asking myself,why are we paying 2 people tio sit in the studio when obviously only 1 is needed. Thats nothing against o'connor or graham,they are both very good,but the pressure you would think will come on entain to cut costs to return as much as they can to the industry as the indudustry is clearly spending more than they should and will themselves be making cuts in the next couple of years you would think. That would be my guess for something that will happen in the next year or so.
    • With drastic winter weather–arctic temperatures and extremely low wind chill values, according to the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA)-continuing to plague much of the country, NYRA has cancelled live racing Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1 at Aqueduct Racetrack. Racing has not been held at Aqueduct since Jan. 23. The 24th, 28th, and 29th were all originally carded but had to be cancelled due to the frigid temperatures. NYRA is working with the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NYTHA) and New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (NYTB) to schedule and apply for added race days. NYRA will also release a new schedule for stakes races impacted by the weather cancellations, as well as a modified condition book. Aqueduct will be open for simulcasting both Saturday and Sunday.
