Thanks Phil for catching that .....


How do they blame technology for this? Are you saying that calculating the change in payouts is beyond the computer system that NYRA uses. Are there differences for how California handles this?

I seem to remember that other issues like late scratches in multi's were handled differently in California then NY with solutions like post time favorites and consolation payoffs differing.

This has been discussed before and Steve has talked about it on the show. There is no doubt that the computers can calculate the payouts based on the different odds, but the rule has not been changed. Of course, it makes no sense and should be changed.

That being said, I had $20W on Yield Bogey and would have been better if I had put it to place. I think he led all the way before and after the wire, just not on it!

So nobody knows what it takes to alter these rules??

Contact your Senator?

Email your Congressman?

Bribe BTW?

A contest between Hoss and Byk??

How does the mass of the DT voice get heard........Does it take a note from Obama??

These rules need to be consistent.......If a DH is ruled payoffs in P3,4,6's should be altered to reflect the difficulty of the selections.
