Barn Report, Sunday May 9th

Good Law on Sunday morning -- fast asleep in his stall -- with his eyes wide open -- but not seeing a thing. Steve tried talking to him, but he might as well have been talking to a kid who'd fallen asleep on the living room couch -- good mostly for hearing the sound of your own voice.

Over by the clockers' stand, nobody was sleeping. Much talk about whether the politicians in Albany would come to their senses in time -- and pay the money the state owes to NYRA. If the state doesn't pay, the track closes. Consensus among the rail birds: pretty pessimistic.
