Can you imagine the aggravation now if you had a Pick 6 ready to go and it winds up hitting today?

Video feed, LOL! Its a planned thing, you can be sure of it. Anyone think this is a way to try and lure people to come out tomorrow?

More misinformation.
Amazing how many expertrs we have here who don't have sense God gave a mule.
This wasn't any grand conspiracy to promote a carryover to today.
NYRA had a tough call to make and they made the right call.
With the vidoe down EVERYWHERE!! And I do mean everywhere Scav, not even in NY on the racing channels, only place you could see a Belmont race was at the track.
They first had a 30 minute delay to attempt to see if they could straighten out the problem. When they could not estimate an ETA on getting the satellite uplink back they cancelled the pik-6. It was the only responsible thing to do. Lack of the signal would have caused people at ANYWHERE except Belmont itself not to be able to see odds, minutes to post, or track conditions or to even think they had cancelled racing.
They made the right call under the circumstances, and yes if there had not been a carryover they would not have cancelled wagering.
But there was a big one, and they acted prudently.
I love you Oliver Stone conspiracy guys, I really do.
