God I hope so.

Tough day.

34,000 carryover

[Storm Cadet]

If people hit the pick 6 today @ $7.60 how is there a carryover?

[herkhorse]

My info was from twinspires, so it's probably incorrect.

[Travis Stone]

Equibase says there is too.

What the status of the non-important turf races tomorrow?

They will either be on or off... Or some combination of the two.

Very, very unlikely there's anything on turf beyond the stakes and the MOW will almost certainly be Gio Ponti-less.

Yeah, I felt sorry for you and Jason trying to talk about 3 & 4 horses fields, with a straight face.

I felt sorry for the people who had $34,680 stolen from them - but that's just me.

Thanks, but don't feel sorry for me. I have a great job.

[Calzone Lord]

What do you think of this rule BTW?

Over/Under on when it gets changed?

Obviously I didn't play the P6. It just blows my mind how anyone could have allowed such a rule to be implemented. How is it different than stealing?

[Dahoss]

Isn't it a better alternative than making bettors have to keep their turf choices in dirt races like Florida does when a race gets rained off after a multi has started?

[NTamm1215]

If I'm not mistaken this is the first time this rule has been used since it was implemented. That's mainly because the track super at NYRA does a great job and rarely has to take multiple races off the turf in the middle of the card.

It sucks for the people who were 4-4 but the majority of them certainly used turf horses who were scratched and they might have been forced to land on PT favorites they didn't like. I have been victimized by the lack of off the turf provisions in South Florida and that certainly felt like a kick in the ass.

I don't think that is the part of the rule he is arguing. They kept 75% of the pool. It is a rule that rarely comes into play obviously, but it seems a very bad rule not to payout the entire pool after takeout there are tickets with all winners. Because of this, didn't most (all?) people that played lose money whether they cashed or not to basically fund a carryover?

It's obviously a much better alternative - so long as the takeout is kept and the rest of the pool is redistributed in form of winning payoffs.

To confiscate the majority of the pool - like in this instance - that should never have been permitted to happen.

[Calzone Lord]

Here is the worst old-time rule I could find:

Up until the year 1886 - a jockey could not dismount after a race unless he first asked permission to dismount from the stewards.

This made it easy to stiff a superior horse - all you do is go out and win the race at odds of 1/10 - and the jockey hops off before he asks permission - horse gets DQ'd - bettors become outraged.

I hear ya. I missed that part the first time around.
