WHATS GOING ON AT YONKERS RE OPEN HANDICAPS?

[bond]

Not sure whats happening at Yonkers--seems very odd that Open Handicap races at Yonkers which has the highest purse structure-seems to be running for a select few stables.
When Shartin came to town-they gave her the 8 hole-HANDICAP-understandable -she duly won and Snobbytown ran second in a huge mile.
This week its NOT  handicap and Snobbytown-has the 5 hole- after running second to the fastest female in History and being the highest money earner-shes not handicapped. WTF??
I may be wrong-but I always thought that the race secretaries job was to try and make the races as competitive as possible.
Look at the odds--there are only a couple in there that can win-the rest are going around for training miles.
The weakest horses or lowest money earners-are usually handicapped to the inside--NOT AT yonkers!!!
Something is going on that we are not privy to.

               Snobbytown is a pig, he will be off the board. The race he won ,he was the only speed and was lucky to win. Tonite Kaitlyn N will leave in front of him. Kendar N and Imprincegemma A are way better horses.
                 Box the 1 2 4

yonkersjeff--I like your attitude-however-Ill be amazed if you are right and be the first one to congratulate if you win.
Regardless--the race IMHO should be a handicap--not a handout for certain trainers. There are 4 in there that will go off at over 30/1 .

Doesn't take a genius to know he's talking about the 4 that are 20 to 1 in the morning line.

On the subject of genius Snobbytown referred to 4 times as he ..  is a mare
"Princegemma" is Princessgemma
Kendar N is Kendra N

As for Snobbytown's ability to win races she is 4 for 9 this year  8 for 15 last year and lifetime 37 starts 17 wins 10 seconds and 4 thirds.   That's one pig I'd love to own

As you all saw-that race was a set up right from the moment it left the race office -left as NOT a handicap. A handout to the Boys Ron Burke and the Strattons thank them for their generosity. The race had 4 horses go off at over 99/1. Would have been higher but the board doesn’t do three digits. Great job making a competitive race.
I’m sincerely hoping this rubbish stops.

Maybe you should just except you were wrong and move on

I aiways thought a handicap race added a handicap to the better horses. IE, higher weights for thoroughbreds and outside posts for the jumpers. If you're not going to do that call it an open or preferred or something. But I ain't know nothing, i just steer them in a circle and hope i don't fall off
