What happened was a joke and very poorly handled but you have to understand Dan is mad about not getting Phish tickets so this is all about Andy paying him attention. |

Speaking of Andy, he did a good interview for TDN it is worth listening to. Juggling the heat/weather, the bettors, the TV schedule, the turf condition in real time can be hectic. Saturday's 6th race is a very special mdn spl. I will be at Haskell, but I will be watching that one for sure. Rooting for Nevin, I loved By the Moon |

This is NYRA, you idiot. I was one who changed my tickets at the last second. Went from singling the 3 in the 3rd to using 1-7. Why should I be penalized ? How can they not say it’s an all till 25 minutes after the race ? Who made the decisions? Is there no accountability? The rule states it’s an all , only if the race is taken off after the sequence has begun. |

You didn't bet the pick 5. Stop lying. You read about it on twitter and 7 hours later came here to post about it because you want and need Andy's attention. It's hilarious. For what it's worth I haven't seen one person defend what happened yesterday. It was a disaster on all fronts. There is no defending it. My question to you is what would you like to happen now? I see some talk from a gentleman known for only having one suit about a lawsuit. Maybe you should organize that. Let us know how it goes. |

![]() A public apology would be a good start.
Who made the decision to change the rule ? Who has the authority to make this call ? |

![]() You're pretty plugged in Dan. Make a few calls and make this happen.

![]() I'd love to see you prove you bet the pick 5 and bet what you said you did. Prove you're not lying.

![]() No they didn't Freddie not the way they implemented it. I agree with Hoss that an ALL race works however they needed to do that in the context of the rules not after the race. Those on the 7 got screwed royally and ALL OF US now can't even trust them to honor their own rules. It reeks of preferential treatment who screamed loud enough to get them to change a rule? I guess I'm old enough to remember when RULES ARE RULES was a thing. When it went against me of course I'd bitch and moan about a **** rule but NEVER when I benefited from a **** rule was it reversed. If NYRA REALLY wants to as you say "Do the Right thing by the players" then they need to recalculate that Pick 5 making that NOT AN ALL race and Pay the difference to those that can produce a winning Pick 5 ticket that had the 7.

I'm not sure what they can do short of what they did. Either way, because the decision was made so late, people were going to feel like they got screwed. The people who didn't have time to change their tickets were stuck with turf horses in a dirt race. The people who were quick enough (not Vagina Dan) to change their tickets and included the 7 feel like they got screwed. And the truth is both parties are right. I have no idea why they took the 3rd off. It wasn't a baby race, nor a sprint so it makes no sense to me. Going forward I hope they wait to make the decision. The problem started when they made he decision with a few minutes to post and it snowballed from there. Hopefully they handle situations like this better in the future but I won't count on it. |
