Why not now??? Horse racing in New York state to reopen starting June 1

Posted by Jeff Rosen on Wed Apr 7 19:05:58 2021

Why June 1rst?? Why not now. Casinos are open, restaurants are open, baseball stadiums, pool rooms, movie theaters are all open, albeit not 100% capacity. Racing has very little crowds these days and racetracks are very spacious.
FUCK ANDREW CUOMO!!!

Bullshit!! Maybe you don't care about horse racing but thousands do. Try going to Saratoga in August. You really don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe not. Remember that DeBlasio wanted to ban hansom cabs but never got around to it. I am opposed to banning horse racing. Those horses are treated well and they have fun!

I also oppose banning dog racing, the solution to mistreatment is to regulate it better.

It was at Belmont. There was racing in New York, just no crowds, the racetracks weren't open to the public. As a matter of fact, people getting their vaccines at Aqueduct can watch the races during their 15 minute waiting period if a race is going on.

OTB was totally mis-&-micro managed into a complete failure. The off the top payout deduction on winnings to be given to the tracks spelled doom to OTB. Add to this the overexpantion and you have the reputation as OTB being the only bookie to lose money

Actually there is only one track in NYC, Aqueduct. Belmont is just over the border in Nassau. The Cross Island Pkway is the border.

Gold star! That's exactly it. There's not much of an increase in public benefit like there is with baseball or basketball or even bowling because few care. And it's also looked upon negatively by much of the public. Not just because of gambling, like casinos, but also animal rights groups.

They only have to prepare for the public. They have been racing without crowds since the summer. Besides, any preparation has nothing to do with Cuomo, it's up to the tracks.

I know.

There used to be a lot more tracks in the city or what later became the city. Jamaica Racetrack was the second to last one (Aqueduct being the last).

I’m sure you know about the racetrack spur on the Brighton Line.

"Nothing wrong with dog racing."


This was our pet "Payroll Martinez" for about 8 years until we had to put him to sleep. The picture is in 2004 when we adopted him after he retired from the track. Unfortunately we found out he was 0 for 37 races, although he did show (third) twice. But he was a great pet and member of our family.

They do look great don't they?

Interesting thing about squats and sprints is that the women look great. The men actually don't improve body composition doing these sports.

I have no idea why Sarge and others like watching animals race? It's an odd interest.

I don’t know, there is a great connection to railroading and the races at our current and past tracks. Going to the races is nice time. After the original Yankee Stadium my second favorite place to enjoy sports is Belmont.

IAWTP. Many, many years ago one summer I bet every day on the trotters at a local OTB parlor. I think at the end of the summer I had netted about 50 cents. It was lots of fun buying and reading the Daily Racing Form in the morning and placing my bets during my lunch break.

If you add Nassau and Suffolk, I remember Roosevelt as a kid, and Parr Meadows in Yaphank/Shirley.
My dad like horse racing, so as a kid I went to them a few time

Roosevelt was harness Racing, and Parr Meadows was Quarter horse.

They are currently redeveloping the Par Meadows site, it has been closed since the 90s. Roosevelt as we all know was redeveloped in the 90s

Horse racing is slowly dying. It's a relic from a time when it was the only legal gambling. Now there are casinos everywhere, lottery,cans so forth.
