I think the rule is CLEAR. There was approx 1 minute and 36 seconds before the race ran when they announced the surface change . Applying the rule to the facts, the change was KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC before the close of wagering on the p5. So the rule does not even apply for them to issue an ALL to my mind. It should be a REFUND or let it play out with the changes with the tickets as they were wagered. Now is the latter option fair? Well, maybe not, but does that give them the right to issue an ALL?
This is NYRA garbage again. Hopefully TGJB doesn't delete this one like a post last weekend that involved NYRA decisions.
This should have been a REFUND. That was the absolute correct decision once they ran the race so quick after the announcement. This is madness and nonsense.
NYRA decided to NOT follow the rule which would be to leave the tickets wagered as they were, decided to apply an ALL rule that doesn't fit the situation, and put their 15% in their coffers and made some gamblers feel warm and fuzzy inside I guess.
To be clear, I had zero dollars at stake here. As an old, cranky poster used to once say about NYRA: clueless clowns. This was another example in many of late by NYRA.
The best decision would have been to circle the horses for 10 minutes, announce to bettors to change their tickets if they desired or to cancel them. But they rushed them in the gate and ran and why???? To keep the tv schedule? IDK....but clueless idiots.
