    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This will be a good season at Aqueduct for horseplayers who own cars and can afford $40 lunches, but less appealing for those who have been relegated to taking the A train to the track."

Noted: "Aqueduct is what Drew calls the N.Y.R.A's bread-and-butter track. It pulls in more money with less overhead than Belmont or Saratoga and attracts higher per-capita betting."

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["On September 14, 1959, the new modern Aqueduct opened. Just 12 days after it opened, Aqueduct took center stage with the much-anticipated showdown in the Woodward Stakes between the nation’s best 3-year-old Sword Dancer representing the East, the great Round Table representing the Midwest, and Hillsdale, the king of California. This was an epic confrontation to decide Horse of the Year honors. In the end, it was Sword Dancer nosing out Hillsdale in an exciting stretch run, and the new Aqueduct was on the map. Over the next 10 years, every Horse of the Year competed at The Big A that autumn."

I think after Saratoga is over I should have 25 to 35 horses. But who knows? I want to start claiming horses, but that's not always so easy since so many of the claims come down to shakes. But my intention is to have as many racing as I can and as quickly as I can. We'll be as aggressive as we can be."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["If approved, the project would require Belmont Park essentially to be torn down, built back up from scratch and transformed into a winterized horse racing facility complete with a new clubhouse and grandstand — all at no cost to taxpayers, according to the New York Racing Association (NYRA). The NYRA plans to borrow the money and pay it off over the span of 30 years through state-backed bonds. The NYRA would be responsible for all debt service obligations on the bonds and no taxpayer funds would be used for the project. Since the state owns Belmont Park, the NYRA would essentially be spending its own funds for the modernization project."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Hernandez loved the track — in particular Saratoga — so much so that Hagney and some members of her family brought Hernandez’s body Sunday afternoon to Saratoga Racecourse and barn 76, where Hernandez had been stabled for years before his retirement in 2011. 'We played Call to Post, we told him it was 'riders up' and we sang songs,' Hagney said Sunday afternoon from the barn. 'The people from the funeral home helped us out. He's right here for the last time. I brought him here every day for two years prior to Covid.' Hernandez, a native of Union de San Antonio Jalisco, Mexico, trained in the U.S. from 1976 through Nov. 2011. According to Daily Racing Form statistics, Hernandez won 603 races from 5,419 starters, and his horses earned $18,820,126 in purse money."]]></description>

[NYRA] said Friday it had established a hearing process that it said would allow trainers, jockeys and owners to receive due process. David O'Rourke, president and chief executive of the association, said the new hearing rules and procedures would be used in the cases of Baffert and Marcus J.

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A common trope among industry insiders to deflect public skepticism is that 'we love our horses.' As with any generality, there are elements of truth in that sentiment but, as with any generality, it is not universally true. Recent developments from New York will cause outside observers to question that commitment when top level figures in the sport do not even treat humans with respect and dignity — let alone meet legal obligations."  ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["No matter which side of the aisle you're on, it seems racing officials had hoped to make an example of Rick Dutrow. It's hard to say whether that has worked. If the 10-year ban was intended to serve as retribution for past sins, it seems misplaced. It's not immediately clear why Dutrow's inconsistent answers on Kentucky license applications weren't discovered until 2011 (or at least, did not result in penalties before then). It's also hard to say why authorities in New York and New Jersey didn't pursue the Wild Desert case further (or for that matter, officials in Canada, where Dutrow later admitted he ran a horse in someone else's name). According to his record in Thoroughbred Rulings, he received no action related to Wild Desert from the New Jersey Racing Commission. If part of making him a successful example was sending him into obscurity, commissions haven't quite gotten their wish."]]></description>

When you’re the tenth 'one other than' in that barn you’re not running more than three or four times a year. You look at the larger trainers and that’s the case with most of those horses. That’s stupidity on the part of an owner. There are plenty of guys that can train and you can pick a smaller trainer, and when I say smaller that doesn’t mean he can’t train, it means he doesn’t have the same numbers. You give that horse to him and that horse might run eight or nine times a year instead of four. And that’s proper management of your asset. A lot of it is self-inflicted wounds."]]></description>

The Belmont Stakes will not be run at Aqueduct, as is it was when Belmont was reconstructed in the 1960s. Belmont’s fall meetings are not as secure. Kay said he is trying to balance simultaneous racing and construction. Kay told HRI that the entire clubhouse will be enclosed, winterized, and that corporate/luxury boxes will be constructed. The clubhouse will be dual faced with a view of the track facing north and a view of the paddock to the south."]]></description>

He was one of the first people in the Funny Cide syndicate, I got him to go in with Jack (Knowlton), but then he just wanted to have some horses on his own.' A groom in the stall rubbed alcohol onto the gelding’s legs. He pointed at a nearby grooming box containing horse cookies. Realm lipped it gently."]]></description>

Will Aqueduct remain in business? Will Belmont be renovated as a year-round facility? What, if anything, will replace the defunct OTB system in New York City?

Staying events also provide a welcome change of pace on American racing cards that are increasingly top-heavy with races at sprint distances. While NYRA is to be commended for creating these new stakes, in particular the two on dirt, no one is under the illusion that these races by themselves will have much of an impact. In order for that to happen, at least three things would need to occur more or less simultaneously."]]></description>

He estimates NYRA so far has captured just 35 percent of the lost NYC OTB business. 'Some may have leaked to New Jersey, some could have gone online, and some leaked to bookmakers,' he said, adding that NYRA expects to be profitable next year."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“The stakes schedule is a little different matter. I see potential to grow our big days even larger. Obviously with Travers Day this year we’ve taken that step. I think every weekend has its separate identity, whether it’s Alabama, Fourstardave, Woodward, whatever. We’ve certainly moved to make Travers Day a little bit stronger. People will say, ‘look you have 48,000 every Travers, so why would you do that?’ Well, we charge a simulcast rate for the rest of the country and 85 percent of our money is bet out there, not here. By enhancing Travers Day it allows us to raise that rate and say, ‘listen guys, we’re providing a lot of product for you. You’re going to pay us more money on that day.’ That means NYRA makes more money and the horsemen make more money. If we can grow Travers Day into what I call a national day, it helps all the other tracks in America, too."]]></description>
