B-H: NYRA Deal Appears Close.. Maybe

[blackthroatedwind]

I'm sure that in the unlikely event of a shutdown that NYRA will either refund the entrance fees or simply begin the contest once racing resumes. And, nobody is required to play....so don't enter if you have some personal concerns.

I find it fascinating that people are criticizing NYRA for continuing this contest in light of how much criticism was laid upon them when this contest had to be delayed in the past due to website updates. It seems they're damned if the do and damned if they don't.

I hope the many people who have confused standards for NYRA apply these same conditions to their own lives.

I assume you are referring to someone else, because I missed the part where I was critical of NYRA in my post. I like the contest and play it (on a voluntary basis, mind you) when I can. I thought the start date was interesting/funny considering the deadline that was set. Anyone who entered and thought NYRA would 'take their money and run' is a bit naive or just cynical.

Call it what you want but you were making a joke without thinking it through.

The timing is obvious if you think about it. By making the start day February 14th it won't be interrupted....it will either start...or not.

Yes, making a joke. Lighten up, Francis.

Look who's talking. I put up a post joking about a contest and you make a smug response with false assumptions. I expected joking responses like the one posted by HHH. Seriously, it's too early in the morning to be wound that tight. Let's move on.

By the way, I'm hearing a deal may actually be announced today. I'm holding my breath in anticipation.

Oh, I get it, you don't like it that I pointed out why there was a February 14th deadline, so you drag out the tired " lighten up Francis " line.

If you don't like that people respond to your posts, whether you are joking or serious, I don't understand why you post.

You were right, however, I wasn't specifically responding to you with my general comments. And, for what it's worth, I'm also a big fan of " Stripes. "
