Transmission problems delay card
By MIKE FARRELL ELMONT, N.Y. - The start of the third race at Belmont Park on Friday was delayed at least a half hour as the New York Racing Association tried to restore the audio and video signal to over 1,000 off-track and simulcast outlets. Wagering was also interrupted at some offtrack sites. Post time on the tote board for the third race was revised to 2:30 p.m. The race was originally scheduled for 2:02 p.m. NYRA spokesperson Fran LaBelle Jr. blamed the failure on fiber-optic lines from Verizon. The delay also pushed back the Pick 6, starting with the fourth race with a carryover of $456,860. |
