But I'm guessing they wouldn't be able to start to about 9pm at the minimum. I'm not just talking about the grandstand, but the backyard at Belmont which is huge (and I don't believe it's a lighted area either). It's a giant venue, that probably takes some time to clean, plain and simple.

As far as the bitching and moaning goes, I really believe that if they did race on Sunday and the card wasn't up to some people's speed then there would be posted threads about that around here. I just don't understand what the big deal is about one dark Sunday.

matt the card is the card, 1 stakes /feature race would have been fine......... we live in ny you cannot simply tell me that the facility itself could not have been ready for sunday , to even suggest that is a farce when in the past they have run on that sunday

people want a day off i get it, take mon - wed of this week off , start racing on thursday no?

not everyone can play during the week, some of nyra customers are weekend only players , but that doesn't seem to matter to anyone here besides Homer S. the weekend only players lost out on a card and a potential pick 6 play ....not everyone has a phone account/ not everyone has the internet ....some people work during the week and cannot physically get to the track or an otb location to make a play or they simply don't have the time during the week.
