Just in from an afternoon at Aqueduct and a night out in Manhattan.
New York racing......now there's a time warp. The facilities are stuck in the 70's !!! and the all-tote and lack of crowd does nothing for the sterile atmosphere. The one thing I will say is that the horses fly on the dirt. I realise it's only an ordinary Thursday meeting but they have a lot to learn over here.

Let It Ride!!!

Hi Mark. Good to here from you over there in the USofA.

Yes, you'll notice that the pace is remarkably different.
They race like quarter horses over there.
Enjoy our trip, let us know all about it on your return.

Pity Jack Klugman and Don Adams are no longer with us, they were daily attendees at the track.
Say hi to David Letterman when you see him
