Belmont - Race 9 OFF THE TURF

blackthroatedwind · #1 06-09-2010, 10:19 AM

Because rain is supposed to start shortly, and pick up around 2 O'Clock, a decision has been made to take the 9th race off the turf. We feel this is the fairest choice given the possible scenerio as it involves the Pick-6. Rather than face a situation of being forced to remove the race from the grass AFTER the Pick-6 had started, and thus create an " all " situation, we felt it was fairest to all to make this decision when we did. We are commited to running the rest of the turf races as scheduled. Post times will also be accelerated during the day.

Thanks Andy...Is that why there is a delay in posting the scratches? They stopped posted mid-race 6 on the NYRA website...

I assume there are none in 7&8. 9 will be posted momentarily and we anticipate having 8 runners.
