I don't know. I would guess it has happened over time with the advent of simulcasting, which obviously increased the size and frequency of bridge jumping.
While I have learned not to accept second hand info, the use of the word "blame" seems unfair. If a track doesn't have show wagering, who else but them would have cancelled it?
I believe that the NY State law allows show wagering to be cancelled in Sweepstakes ( or Stakes ), but honestly, it's not exactly my department.
