The New York State Racing and Wagering Board on Tuesday approved 250 live racing dates at the three tracks operated by the New York Racing Association for 2011, three fewer dates than NYRA was scheduled to hold this year.

Under the schedule, NYRA will drop two Wednesday cards from the spring-summer meet at Belmont, which is slated to run from April 29 to July 17. In addition, NYRA will drop one card from the winter meet at Aqueduct, which begins on Jan. 1 and ends on April 23.

40 more would work as well
