NYRA cuts Fall Stakes

[the_fat_man]

Here's a suggestion for NYRA.

LIMIT the number of turf races to TWO per day, at BEL and SAR. That way, whenever it rains, rather than taking races off, selectively or otherwise, for 2 or 3 weeks AFTER the fact, they can just run ONE race on each of the turf courses PER DAY, and go on with it. The idea is to pick winners, not try to handicapping WHICH races NYRA will take off the turf on a given day. This goes a long way towards 'respecting' both trainers/owners and handicappers.

YEAH, I realize they didn't lose too many this year at the BEL meet but this was due to, essentially, a DROUGHT.
