Try getting your pick-6 ticket in with less than TWO MINUTES to post of the first leg, fifteen years ago on the NYRA circuit.Am I supposed to believe our sport is hanging on a thread only because we are allowed to wager up until the gates open ?  |
I remember that. Never really affected me too much, but I've never been a big pick-6 player. I don't think our sport is hanging on a thread because of wagering up to the gates open, but believe me it is a big pain in the butt.
I'm not sure where your from, but if you've ever been to Saratoga, check out the lines with 1 mtp. There would be a riot if they shut the windows down.
