What's next, that NYRA was in cahoots with BP? This stuff is endless.

I have no idea what happened this day, previous years I do not recall this ever happening, I don't know who is at fault and I do not know from a logistics television point of view was it even possible. But to show Randy Moss going over the early oddsboard of the Belmont or Dale Romans and G Fox's relationship was a total waste IMO. Maybe NYRA could have strong armed them into showing the race for their fans from a PR point of view, I was not impressed having bet the race and having to wait 10 mins to see what happened.

I don't think NYRA has any leverage to strong arm ABC on anything. What are they going to say? Show the race or else? While I agree that it sucks not to see the race and if they arent going to show it they should allow TVG/HRTV to show it, it really isnt that big of a deal.

As for NYRA racing on Sunday, I have been to Belmont on the Sunday after the Belmont in previous years. There usually is noone there. The 4 day leadup to the Wed carryover will help NYRA handle far more money on the wager than if they had it on Sunday. Is this even debatable?

And I still can't believe that Romans and Greg Fox have a relationship. I didnt even know they were gay

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

sure it is , you can't tell me that there won't be more people at belmont on a nice sunday afternoon than on a nice wednesday afternoon. i have been out there on wednesday afternoon and you can talk to the jockeys as no one is there

the syndicate $$$ , pros $$$ will be in sunday or wednesday , you would get more casual race fans $$$ into that pool if you were open for business on sunday chuck , the pros $$$ alwayss gets in , the guys that has to work during the week may be less inclined to play on a wednesday , but they would play on a sunday

chuck is travers day not as big a day for nyra as belmont day ??? they run up at the spa on sunday , they can run chuck down here too

That is simply not true. You will get far more casual players money having a 4 day lead in. That is a lot of time to promote the carryover, for people to handicap the races and for syndicates to form. The fact is that they had no idea if they were going have a carryover. There is just no demand for the day after the Belmont. Based on the numbers there wasnt a huge demand for Belmont day, let alone the next day. And comparing Saratoga and Belmont is folly. They get 15k on the Sunday before the meet even starts. Complaining about something like this is petty.

Come on Marty, How many casual fans do you think are playing the pick 6? While those people might have enjoyed a nice day at Belmont on Sunday, they aren't the ones putting a ton of money into the pools. If you are a player/fan, Saturday was your day. And after watching and betting that card all day Saturday, I'm sure the last thing people wanted to do was pick up a form and have to cap for a monsterous carryover the next day.
Not to mention all the work that had to been done around the faculity after their biggest day of the year.
Just wait till Wednesday, the carryover will still be their and so will the people who intend to bet it.
