Belmont Draw Schedule

[blackthroatedwind]

The schedule for drawing at Belmont will be slightly different than it has been at Aqueduct. First of all, this coming Friday ( the 24th ) we will be drawing the first two cards of the Belmont meet, and Saturday we will draw the card for Friday, May 1st. After that we will draw three racing days in advance, with a single draw every day. In other words, we will draw Saturday's card on Wednesday, Sunday on Thursday, the following Wednesday on Friday, Thursday on Saturday and Friday on Sunday.

Kudos to NYRA...This is alot better than gettinng Saturday's card at 2pm on Thursday.
Andy, one pet pive I have is that it takes so long for the racing office ( or whoever) to decide who is an entry. Therefore the Program numbers do not show up until a couple of days later. Hate to be an a$$, just seems like they should put the program numbers on the PP's when they post the card.

The overnights denote who is an entry, so you could take a look at those. I may be mistaken, but I think it takes a bit longer for the "final" version to come out because of the morning line.

This is a great move by NYRA and another item in a list of steps they've taken over the last six to nine months in aiding the player.

Could TRAKUS be next?

Now, that would be something of note.

Very nice.

When does this mean Sunday PP's with program #'s should be available?

Would be great to be able to print the whole weekend "package" by Friday AM.

Exactly, so why cant they just go and put it on the PP's when they are posted?

Any chance of publishing scratches a wee bit earlier?

Lets not get carried away. 90 minutes before the 1st race should be plebty of time to re-handicap the card.
