NYRA entries
 

Are they really going back to 48 hours out (eg. Thursday for Saturday) once Belmont starts? If so, why? :confused:

I agree, that will suck.

I suppose it has something to with drawing entries so far out and not knowing the weather situation?

I happen to like the 72 hour draw and this will now make NYRA once again one of the only circuits to use a 48 hour draw.

that was a great help to many kudos to nyra for doing this for toga..

This will just assist the "if they had poly weather wouldn't matter" argument... :rolleyes:

I would think the same as far as the weather....They are probably sick of 6-7 horse fields

Almost every other track draws 72 hours out. Most of those tracks have to deal with weather, but get it done. I don't see why the draw day should have an effect on entries.

Can anyone really say with a straight face that the weather reports are that much more accurate two days before as opposed to three days out?

I thought Al Roker did a better job before he got his stomach stabled. Maybe the twinkies helped him project batter?

I've seen Al at the buffet in the Lexington room at Keeneland. He wasnt afraid

The buffet was?

the fried chicken was shaking

Monmouth is also going back to a 48 hour entry draw after Labor Day, since they will race only 4 days a week (Thurs-Sun)

It's actually a change from three racing days out to two racing days out. Wednesday and Thursday cards will be drawn on the prior weekends (effectively four days out).
