Default Complaining enough DOES get you somewhere!

According to Steve Crist's Saratoga Blog, NYRA will offer 10 cent superfecta wagering beginning in the fall. The repeated requests of longing horseplayers have been heard!

Have they developed a way to give a strong electric shock to anyone putting losing tickets into the machines yet? I'm all for 10 cent supers but between those lowlives with 100 losing tickets clogging up machines and the people coming up with 10 cent supers on the fly I really hope they have enough machines to support it.

most days at Belmont and Aqueduct there are more machines than patrons, probably why they are waiting until the fall meet to implement this.

It was also interesting that NYRA was blaming the State and finally the state had enough and told them there is no laws on minimums and that its up to NYRA.

Yeah, I guess going most days of Saratoga, Wood day, Belmont day, and JCGC day probably gives me a different view.
