2020 Stakes Season

[whiptherabbit]

If they get wiped out this year, will they double the purses next year for three year olds, or finally do 3/4 year old stakes races?

[Parked]

Way to soon to start talking about that, especially with the state SS. They start too early now. Start them in August and they would be over before Oct.   some choices would have to be made between SS and Grand Circuit but so be it.  If they go cancelling stake races the yearling sales will crash.

 HOW GREEDY CAN THIS INDUSTRY BE?  SOUND JUST LIKE DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS, ALWAYS BLAMING  OTHERS FOR THEIR STATES AND THEIR OWN SHORTCOMINGS I.E CUOMO, GRETCHEN, ,MURPHY, NEWSOME, PRITZKER ALL GOT THEIR FINGERS POINTING

TAKE YOUR FEDERAL CHECK AND LIVE LIKE THE REST OF THE POPULATION

Early New York Sire Stakes seems quite doubtful

lot of the sires program and big stake program is funded by casino's   

which are shut down. No Ding Ding Ding will result in less money turned over to racing.

NOT TO EARLY, THERE IS NO CHANCE OF IT THIS YEAR.   THIS VIRUS HASNT EVEN POPPED THE PLUGS YET AND IS RUNNING ON EPO.   WOULD WIN IF THEY WENT AROUND AGAIN.

All the media is showing is total cases. What % is over and done out ot that number ? 

[Brown jug]

if they do not run them in 2020, would certainly like to see them just renamed and run as 4 yr olds,  so in 2021 you would have stakes  for 2 , 3, 4 yr olds specifically in addition to the aged stakes

NO IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT

ITS JUST CALLED ONE OF THE YRS,,

AND OWNERS LOSE ,BUT GET THEIR STAKE PAYMENTS RETURNED

WILL HURT ,,PA AND NY BREEDERS THE MOST I THINK

NYRA says season at Saratoga will open as scheduled.

It’s not going to be canceled

[Brown jug]

no one knows when(despite trumps april 12 date) but the world will need to start to edge back outside when it is safe including harness racing

Most stakes will likely race. Conflict between grand circuit and local sire stakes very likely now due to diminishing days to race. Not sure why Cal Expo the only track racing. Races can be conducted with minimal risk by limiting personnel and using multiple barns to race out of. No public. No owners. Only grooms, drivers, trainers and race officials. Would keep people and businesses employed as well as owners solvent.  Captive audience with simulcasting due to limited racing opportunities to wager on.  If you have horseman and horses stabled on grounds and training, then you can have racing.  No reason to further economically decimate this industry and those that rely on it for a living.
