NYRA is the most generous racetrack operator in the country on declaring non-starters. It isn't even close.

The P4/P6 refund rules have been discussed ad nauseum. It's a difficult decision/situation. Refunding entire tickets is too large a negative impact on the pool. Offering a ticket with an alternate selection is a long term possiblility and requires support from the tote company. A conso is an option too I suppose.

I'm not sure what else you can do with this topic. If it's so odious, don't play the P4/P6 in states where they don't refund.

steve - why can't NYRA load two at a time , wouldn't that help?
