I'm sure that in the unlikely event of a shutdown that NYRA will either refund the entrance fees or simply begin the contest once racing resumes. And, nobody is required to play....so don't enter if you have some personal concerns.
I find it fascinating that people are criticizing NYRA for continuing this contest in light of how much criticism was laid upon them when this contest had to be delayed in the past due to website updates. It seems they're damned if the do and damned if they don't.
I hope the many people who have confused standards for NYRA apply these same conditions to their own lives.
