Some stables put big training miles in during the week.  Some people go around the track from the 8 hole with less effort than those training miles.   Starts is only part of the equation.

20 starts for 2 year olds, 25 for 3 year olds, 35 for aged horses.

12 to 14  starts  max for  two yr olds

You could vote yes, no or no reply.
There was a place for comments.
I agree with 12 for 2 year olds. No limit on 3 year olds and aged horses. 
Breeders don’t want to limit # of starts as the want the babies to break down so they can sell more yearlings. 
We all know the day before the vote all reply's will be deleted , Williams and Faraldo will pass or reject as they want. 
Did anyone else receive a survey ?

  • Sweet: Thankfully Mike is on the case, along with NYCLASS and other protestors.  When any side has no represenation, then they're screwed, because money and power rule of ethics i.e. the horse racing industry and how it cannot self sustain.  Pacer 2 and G are evil, nuts too!  tmbz1

  • dougie: IIB, I think the mayor will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The optics on this issue is bad for the horse carriage industry. Animal activists are adept to using the media to enlist horror and anger by the public.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss: It's now a bill with city council. Public hearings will be scheduled then the council votes on it. If passed it's sent to the Mayor to sign into law. He has already said he's in. Marte just took over, Bob Holden is the actual author of the bill who retired last year.

  • dougie: IIB, I have been reading some of the work Councilman Marte has been doing on this issue. I think he might be successful with passing the 'Ryders Law" Bill this time around. The image of the horse dead on the street has even been seen here everywhere. If the animal activists can get this on the ballot, who knows how the vote will go.
