Haven’t followed this impasse.
Good result just in time for Fanduel customers.

I think it’s sad for NY racing fans that NYRA hasn’t hosted a Breeders Cup since 2005.
And my guess is that the NYRA brass are high handed.
Also I thought their treatment of Anthony Stabile was harsh.
Some also disagreed with their treatment of Gary Stevens.

But I’m really hoping that none of the horses breakdown at the Spa this meet.

I know Stevens isn't on any more-did he do anything in particular ? thought he was an idiot for the most part.Stabile got a raw deal for sure

Stevens sent a tweet a few days before Christmas last year stating that he received a phone call from NYRA and that due to cutbacks
his contract wouldn’t be renewed. In the corporate world it’s rare to make cuts a right before Christmas.
The HR playbook is to get your layoffs completed before December as common decency.
In Gary’s case they probably should have done it immediately after the Saratoga meet ended ...and in person.

Gary didn’t do anything wrong specifically the public was made aware of but he was accused in other forums as occasionally tongue tied
and often ill prepared to offer good analysis for non stakes races.
My blind read is that his contract was also very expensive for NYRA and they expected more valuable insights from the HOF jockey.
Gary has been replaced this year by Rajiv Maraj.

Thanks....I think Maraj is way better than that prick Stevens
