Batavia downs deep in the toilet

[getreal]

Just home from the races that I used to love going to at Batavia. Its now become close to non-bettable. And non editable. 13 races tonight, 10 favorites won. 8 of the favs were four dollars or cheaper. 2 second choice and one longshot. The races are not competitive and not nearly as exciting as they used to be. The announcer is blah as is the food in the clubhouse. They used to have great food and a wonderful buffet. I go just about every night, now i go every saturday, soon they wont see me unless they do something different. Aweful racing, ashamed of my home track.

Everything you guys just said can be said about almost every track that is racing.

Track surface at Batavia in about the only good thing about it these days. A buddy of mine owns a 4000 claimer and week in and week out gets to race against horses that were in the opens 2 weeks earlier. Complete non competive racing.

Shame to see Batavia go downhill. It was my favorite place to race & it was 120 miles from the farm. + the border hassle.

Just read Joe Sarago died another one bites the dust. The WNY circuit hasn't been the good for years.
