Only in YOUR :mrgreen: imagination. Never let the FACTS get in the way of your :roll:
distortion. Clearly, you're not one of the "big players" :mrgreen:

Last year, there was $14.3 billion bet on thoroughbred racing in America. Less than 5 percent of the 50,000-plus races in North America in 2009 were held in New York — yet more than 18 percent of those wagers — $2.2 billion–was bet on racing in New York. You don’t have to be a racing expert to know that the big players focus their attention– and their money– on New York because we offer a superior product, and you don’t have to be a mathematician to understand the importance of that revenue to the state’s economy.

for the record Wooley. I bet more than any of my fellow vegetables here in the garden. I am pretty sure I bet more than you earn in a year not that that is enough to earn me a whale tag from Floyd Flake...and yes the sport is dying and so is NY..Get out of the library one day..
