nyra
 

I just don't think they guys running the ship get it.

There was no reason in the world not to run yesterday.

You had a 930k carryover for the pick 6 , could have been a big day on a Sunday in Elmont.

You are not going to get a Triple Crown possiblity every year. Mr Handel please put Sunday after Belmont back on the calendar

Do Hal Handel a favor and show up 45 minutes after the 13th next year and start cleaning the place, then they'll be ready to go for Sunday's card.

Amazing.

Did I miss this same thread about Churchill ( they had a considerably bigger carryover ) and Pimlico when they were closed after their legs of the Triple Crown?

NYRA ran 10 cards in 11 days. Where were the horses going to come from for the 11th of 12?

The hypocrisy is really amusing.

it's NY , they do it at the garden , the baseball stadiums , the football stadiums (alright that is jersey ) , heck they even do it at the SPA , you can't tell me they can't have the place ready to go Sunday after a big 13 card race , it's impossible

Seriously, your post is just proof of what depths people with an axe to grind will stoop. I figured if we were going to get anything from you today it would have to do with Dominguez, but instead you're taking NYRA to task for not running on the day after the Belmont.

NT

He has broker powers to answer to.

Churchill gets a pass as they do 2 of the biggest days in a row on Fri and Sat

Pimlico is just as bad for not running on Sunday.

As a fan of ny racing , how can they run every sunday at the spa , after huge saturdays and not run the sunday after the belmont makes completely no sense

to say they can't do it is non-sense , they used to run the sunday after the belmont all the time

It just gets funnier and funnier.

" NYRA should do what Monmouth is doing. "

" NYRA should close in the Winter "

" NYRA should run 11 of 12 days "

And, frankly, on the internet it actually gets worse than that.

I'm happy to have 4 days to work on the carryover. I would not have been able to play it if they ran yesterday, but I will definitely dive in on Wednesday.

please explain why they can't run on sunday when they used to in the past

all your above comments do nothing to look at the facts about sunday

to say no horses are able to run is comical

I was nice to you recently, and took the time to explain something to you in a PM, and you never even gave me the courtesy of a response. You are a mouthpiece here for a banned member.

factuely incorrect

As I suspected, YOU:zz: are a prime example of the "dumbing down" of American education in the last decades.

Factuely must mean " I am sorry."

way to add to the discussion .....i'm sure you have and mba from harvard like our great president and can talk your way out of a brown paper bag

andy you are lying , i sent a response to what you sent me , those are the facts , you may not like them but those are the facts , i'm sure the mods can dig it up if necessary

Wow. This is really sad.

I'll just file this under no good deed goes unpunished.

i sent andy a pm the other day thanking him for his observations.:$:he wrote me back .

and gales..the crews need a break also..after a huge day the temp vendors are clearing out the press espn ect..its no big deal
why the hatred for nyra?

What does politics have to do with YOUR:zz: stupidity?

what exactly is sad?

you sent me a PM , i sent a response , you said i didn't have the courtesy to respond to you , you are lying it's cut and dry , but that doesn't matter here people will believe whatever you say because that's what they want to do

some people here would give me the death penalty for going thru a stop sign, and some people here would give you community service for a double homicide , it's just that way it is i accept it , you have done a marvelous job at getting them to drink the kool-aid

People earn respect. The constant whining that some are treated differently than others is flat out tiresome....and really nothing more than infantile complaining. Rather than looking inside oneself, the blame is placed elsewhere.

The facts are that I extended you the courtesy of explaining something to you despite the way you behave towards me. The facts are that you never responded. Whatever. It happens. However, to now call me a liar, instead of handling it like a man, and perhaps sending me a PM saying something to the affect that you " meant to, but you know how it goes, if you don't respond to PMs or e-mails quickly you often forget " is unfortunate. But, I guess it's OK, because apparently I can do whatever I want, and you are treated....how exactly? You post here with impugnity. You make false claims with impugnity.

Amazing.

matt - it's not hatred , it was a nice day , we could have had big turnout , there was a big c/o , i think it's a bad business decision that's all , nyra left a lot of money on the table by not running yesterday

the biggest disaster of the weekend was monmouth , and i even responed to randall about that , it's a personal opinion about NYRA and sunday , they could run sunday and not come back to thursday if they want to let everyone get an extra day off .

do i have to actually tell Joey to go get the smoking gun?

sorry, i agree with nyra not running on sunday. saturday was a huge day, no doubt everyone put in a lot of hours getting saturday taken care of without a hitch. for a fan who wanted to bet, sure it might be a pain to have one less track to put some money towards, but i can certainly understand why they didn't plan a card.

Contrary to the belief of your master, there is no access to PMs by moderators.

I am sure you meant to send one. I don't honestly think it was some intention of yours to be rude. That's why I always try to respond to PMs and e-mails immediately, as else it is easy to forget.

Then again, maybe my senility is setting in faster than I thought. Always a possibility.

as far wagering on it weds gives people a bit of time to re group..also making it a big event mid week..many players who were on/off track were in mid travel or had to do something else. im pretty sure they have done this for sometime.off sunday after.

I love when there is no racing....

I'll second Bigs notion of not running, gives you time to handicap. I don't like NY wagering besides Saratoga but I'll probably give Wednesday a shot off the pure value.

Manhattan Not Shown Live
 

I don't know who exactly was at fault here, NYRA or ABC or both, but it was absolutely disgraceful the Manhattan wasn't shown live for some internet wagering accounts or mine wasn't able to view it that I know. To make matters worst ABC seemed to think it was not worth showing either. This was the race I was most looking fwd to all day and to not be able to view as it was happening was just bullcrap.

What could possibly make you think NYRA wouldn't want ABC to show the Manhattan?

What's next, that NYRA was in cahoots with BP? This stuff is endless.

NT

That's already been bandied about. The jury is still out.

Yet another funny sidebar is that we originally weren't racing on Wednesday of last week and added that day late ( take a look at the NYRA Calendar if you don't realize this ).

I have no idea what happened this day, previous years I do not recall this ever happening, I don't know who is at fault and I do not know from a logistics television point of view was it even possible. But to show Randy Moss going over the early oddsboard of the Belmont or Dale Romans and G Fox's relationship was a total waste IMO. Maybe NYRA could have strong armed them into showing the race for their fans from a PR point of view, I was not impressed having bet the race and having to wait 10 mins to see what happened.

If there wasn't a carryover would you feel the same way?

I don't think NYRA has any leverage to strong arm ABC on anything. What are they going to say? Show the race or else? While I agree that it sucks not to see the race and if they arent going to show it they should allow TVG/HRTV to show it, it really isnt that big of a deal.

As for NYRA racing on Sunday, I have been to Belmont on the Sunday after the Belmont in previous years. There usually is noone there. The 4 day leadup to the Wed carryover will help NYRA handle far more money on the wager than if they had it on Sunday. Is this even debatable?

And I still can't believe that Romans and Greg Fox have a relationship. I didnt even know they were gay

Not that there is anything wrong with that. :D

An apology was later issued by the author.

yes

nyra runs on sunday after the travers . it is a successful day , they have a grade 1 , there is no reason they can't run at belmont , or we supposed to believe that if they run on sunday they would lose money ??? i find that hard to believe

todd pletcher won 6 races in a row a few years ago on a sunday after the belmont , i think it was the year after smarty jones won , if i remember correct they had a pretty good size crowd there that day

sure it is , you can't tell me that there won't be more people at belmont on a nice sunday afternoon than on a nice wednesday afternoon. i have been out there on wednesday afternoon and you can talk to the jockeys as no one is there

the syndicate $$$ , pros $$$ will be in sunday or wednesday , you would get more casual race fans $$$ into that pool if you were open for business on sunday chuck , the pros $$$ alwayss gets in , the guys that has to work during the week may be less inclined to play on a wednesday , but they would play on a sunday

chuck is travers day not as big a day for nyra as belmont day ??? they run up at the spa on sunday , they can run chuck down here too

Based on what measure? Saratoga is a freaking ghost town the day after Travers.

there is no way that travers day and it's undercard matches up to what belmont park just provided on saturday. and if nyra used to run the day after, and now they don't, one would have to think they had a very, very good reason to make the change.
