I see it one step further. If you look at Yonkers, the majority of New York taxpayer funded purses, goes to out of state owners. And, increasingly ,out of the country owners.
This BS needs to be corrected.
Yonkers cured part of this so-called problem. Read the condition sheet. You don't race at Yonkers 24/7, it is very difficult to actually race there. They don't want outsiders coming in taking $$$ from the regulars who race there!
Food for thought, I live in Florida and own horses. Why should I be punished and be unable to race in other states?
Read Plainridge condition sheets. Read Buffalo Raceway condition sheets.
Read Pocono condition sheets. 10 years ago, if you were not PA bred/sired/owned you couldn't get in to race there. How times have changed!
They benefit Massachusetts owners like Yonkers does!
