Belmont 3rd Race Saturday

[blackthroatedwind]

I was at Belmont Saturday and they made it abundantly clear the race was a non-wagering event after the scratch and there was a delay.

That is at least good to hear (that it was clear live at the track). Did they leave the odds on the "board" at Belmont until after the race was over? The live simulcast signal showed the odds as they were loading into the gate, etc (as though it was a "normal" race)?
If I was the only one who caught this maybe I was just not paying enough attention (but then again there was at least 10 people around me that left tickets "on the floor" and who would not have known any better had I not alerted them).

It was also early in the day and thus the beer had not kicked in yet either.

They have too. It is against the law for them to take bets on two horse races in NY. Any race with wagering must have 3 horses leave the gate.
