If you are wagering $300 (or even $1) units on p-4 wagers, don't you owe it to yourself to make darn sure you know the late scratches?

If I was at the track and wagering on a p-4, I would go to a teller and get the scratches punched out before I made my wager.

If I was home and wagering any amount on a p-4, I would go to the NYRA website and check for late scratches.

Live and learn. As far as lessons go, $9 for this one seems pretty cheap.

if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it
and yes, I am really cheap. Being a $2 bettor, I find when I spend more it only means that I don't have a handle on the races.
