so, they're supposed to refund when a horse rears up and sits down? how did the starter cause the problem if most of the problem seems to be the horse?

but then, i don't understand how you can ask a guy to explain, suggest meeting him to figure things out, and then tell him he has no credibility anyway. seems a bit of a puzzle there as well.

andy is great , he works hard as anyone in the game, he has knowledge of the game far greater than most, but the fact remains he is a NYRA employee and any opinion he gives on here (on a nyra issue)brings an inherent conflict of interest

oh boy

you blew off his answer because you said he had a conflict of interest, thus suggesting his answer was tainted due to the fact he is a nyra employee. but if you want to attempt to say that you weren't questioning his abilities to give an unbiased answer, while saying exactly that, hey-more power to you.

we all can have an opinion , me ,the guys in the otb , the guy from the ny post , andy , anyone

but explain to me how there is no conflict of interest with andy's opinion on any nyra issue? he going to get some calls/issues wrong , and going to get some right. being wrong on a issue doesn't make him a liar or someone with no credibility , you are now triyng to fit my words to how you want them to read

claiming he has a conflict of interest implies that he couldn't agree with you because that would be frowned upon by the NYRA.

I know.. it all depends on what the menaing of is
is

Wow...a horse can rear up, sit down and be in the hands of the starter the entire time. Come on man, this has gone too far. A lot of weird things happened in this race, but in the end, you lost, I lost, and a whole bunch of other people lost. I used the 6 and 7, but never looked at the 3 until the race was over. I was not a big fan of the 2, but I thought he'd be around for at least 3rd. As far as the payouts, this happens all the time. How come people don't say much when the exacta/triple/super comes out a bit higher than the Win/Place parlay?

Andy did an excellent job of explaining all of this and Handicappy gave us his take. It's time to move on and get ready for today's card.
