Not to spoil the message, but 1 HK$ is equal to $0.129 US$.
This the 16 million in HK$ would be about $2.0million US. Still a lot of money...but....lets keep it in perspective.

Richiebee,
I'm glad you are both safe and have "the juice" again.
Sorry to hear about the damage and its just so sad to see places I've grown up with so damaged and destroyed. Sea Bright is destroyed. Right next to my sons town in Atlantic Highlands.
I know the storm can take away the material things, but it can't let it kill your spirit.

NC Tony Live in Lexington....FWIW watch out for kentucky down preps for Kee meet especially on younger horses. Seen it all to often that horses that fade at KD got great conditioning @ KD> They tend to get overlooked. Especially like the #1 in Race 4 today. If horse takes to poly with the short stretch they use for the 8.5 race....and if you can get the ML and it has a fig it

Jerry,
Thanks for sharing this.
I guess what I don't want to see happen is another implementation of Synthetics to to solve breakdowns when it was the damn drugs and use of other performence enhancers to horses that should not be on the track. More public information etc.
I didnt realize this is part two of a series, and thought it was completely stand alone.

You are right again Jerry.
I cant disagree with your point, No average New York Times Reader would know the Gill Story because the New York Times rarely covers racing in the first place in the New Millennium.
Is it your hope that industry people might pick up on it an care enough to act?
Why is this not covered by industry periodicals such as the Bloodhorse, or DRF, or Thoroughbred Time

Richie...
I don't disagree with you at all!!!
Maybe as I am getting Older I just don't see racing doing anything to improve itself or its image. The Greed angle has been around since Racing Started, so have Drugs and ways to cheat.
So if the article creates a Draconian Racing Board and gets rid of the Cheating Hooray!!.
My Main Point here it's really nothing new..right?

I've been sent the article by 3 different people besides reading it hear today. I've read the article.
You proved my point completely when you don't know the history behind synthetic tracks and why they are even here.(Same Issue Breakdowns- Surface was to blame for the Breakdowns back then, not Greed)

I don't disagree, there is an Increase in Aqueduct beakdowns, but this (breakdowns) has been going on throughout the industry for years, for many reasons. Not all due to Drugs, but the majority of those that happened at Aqu seem to have (a one year data point) and we have jumped to the conclusion that it's the purse structure thats doing that.

Jerry You missed the point copmpletely.
I know your politico leanings - its really not about that.
If the author was so concerned about the horse, then write the story sooner rather then waiting for Derby week point.Maybe we could have had action sooner? Seems like something was done after the story was written. Maybe we could have saved just one more animal.

The last time we had a reason for breakdowns was the racing surface was not safe, and we got Polytrack et al.....now it over stimulating the Claiming purses with racino Money thats causing the bad behavior...and we still have breakdowns...Even at Keeneland on Poly.
What will the next over reaction be?....
I just cant wait to see.
