Dumb **** plays 1,2 in the Double contest but uses 2-3 here.

They couldn't do that ahead of the pick 5?

[Alabama Stakes]

Woulda stayed out of it. I don’t get it . Did they learn nothing ?

If they want to be "Fan Friendly" then they should start giving Refunds for the portion of the Pick 5 that will now be ALL even for those Knocked out. Reduce the pool to only the races that were run as advertised. And I am not saying they should have kept these on but they do have access to weather reports and could have called them all off.

If they took the races off and it never rained people would've complained, right?

If they take it off the turf before the pick 5 starts, all of the bettors who put bets in early and are at work or whatever are now screwed. Taking it off when they did actually protects the bettors.

I thought everyone had an issue last time (rightfully so) because they did not follow the rules. They are following the rules.

Sure, people would complain they always do but less would complain then when they start on then take it off. Those guys at work... How did they put their bets in? Are they following racing during the day? It's not like it is 1975. How many of these people that went to work do you think physically went to the track to buy their tickets? But my idea to refund the portion of the ticket not run as Advertised would cover them. I know it won't happen.

Look I knew the weather was iffy today and took my chance, but my thought process was they wouldn't start if they knew it was going to be bad. That was a very bad decision on my part. My solution going forward if there is any risk whatsoever, I won't participate. Stupid of me to think they would take the races off before the Pick 5.

I put bets in from my ADW daily from work. Often times early in the day because I don 't always have the ability to be checking in real time. Sometimes I do, but sometimes when I get home I'm watching replays to see if I won.

I think they realized what they did last week was way wrong so they're going to err on the side of caution going forward.

It's not perfect but it protects the most people doing this IMO.
