NYRA renovated Belmont Gold. SO Belmont takes the place of the BIG A. So it's not like winter racing in NY is gone.

This is the best video I have ever seen in my life.


on a seperate note... My dad used to drive me and my brothers up to Wyoming Downs waaaaaaayyyyy back in the day but I was too young to remember any betting stories. I do remember that was where I saw my first passed out drunk in public Native American in my life. I shit you not the guy was in like, old western native shit, like with the little rags hanging over his pecker. I think that is why I never got into horse betting.

It’s still not a good sign. No one’s at either track every day. They’re empty even on weekends.

Unfortunately, 15-20 years ago horse racing was big but over the years it’s definitely gone downhill. That being said I enjoy going to the track whenever I get the opportunity

Struggling to remain relevant in today’s youth.

Just reading greyhounds racing likely done - down to 2 tracks and US potentially banning.

Aside from KY Derby and years where a triple crown winner possible - no one cares overall.

AQU does have a booming casino business and now with table games thats probably why going to expand there hotels
