Belmont Cancels

Done for the day. Of course my bet in the last race throws his jock at the start. Always love that. You don't even have to watch the rest of the race. (And yes the jock was fine.)

Damn I liked the 8 horse quite a bit here- Double Down Dixie. 3rd off layoff shortening up getting back on the turf. I also liked the 10 to run 2nd or possibly win.

This absolutely sucks. We played the pik-6 and beat the fave in the first leg and then had the 11.40 winner. Off to a very nice start with a lot of horses on the ticket still remaining. How the hell do they pay the pik-6 now? They can't distribute the carryover can they? And we might not even break even on the consos. This is horrible.

GOD takes even a minor whiz,and they cancelled Belmont.Don't you have atleast 3 hours of daylight left back there? Real Determined to make every effort to get that card finished..

What did they do ? Did they freak out cuz they had to take a race off the turf(after people capped the p6 for turf?)

Mike-
Curious about who you used in the 6th. I liked the 8 horse and also the 10. Did you use them?

Tim we had:
6th- 1,2,7,8,9,10
7th-5
8th- 5,6,8,9
9th- 4,9

I assume we get 48 consos because thats the number of combos we had going when they cancelled. We spent 864 so its gotta pay 18 bucks just to bust even.

Not sure if anyone here is in NYC like I am but the weather has been insane.

Now, considering the turf condition already, when you add the rain that was hitting, I would love the explanation of what they were going to do about the late Pick-4 where three races were about to be taken off the turf.

I'm sorry about your Pick-6, genuinely, it's painful, but understand very clearly that you were about to have those same 48 consos, with no added carryover, hinging on 10 claimer Atouratoura winning. Hard to believe all things considered the cancellation was not in your ( and everyone's ) best interests.

Scuds it was severe lightning. But I really don't see why they couldnt have waited for it to pass through. I really think they jumped the gun.
I know that they can't pay out the carryover so since tomorrow is a Saturday, and closing day of the meet so they have to distribute the whole pool, it oughta be a pretty nice pool.

How about Grand Slam wagers, had two going. Looked like Saratoga thunderstorm weather when they ran the 5th. Just one day left to get even at Big Sandy!

Atleast in the Summer, SoCal will not be doing this stuff.Pretty much Sunny late June to mid October(boring weather,but predictable.)

Reminds me of the Showdown Contest at Toga in 2004.They had a short contest that lasted about the last 3 weeks of the meet(because in the 1st week of the meet just about everybody got tossed in the original Toga Showdown contest.)So,anyways, in a short Showdown Contest,wins are very important(not nearly as much so in a long Showdown contest.)On the biggest Saturday of the meet,they cancelled just the last race.This is after I had a win earlier in the day.Everybody who was kicked out of the contest got back in.Anybody who had a win that day got nothing.The worst part was everybody who had a horse fail(and there were a lot)got back into the contest.Winners should win,and losers should lose.No exceptions.These people who lost 2 races of the pick 6 today should get zero,nada,nothing.They are losers.Giving them their money back is disgusting maggot waste.I am not "steamed."I have no interest at all,but losers shouldn't get refunds on tickets with 2 losers in the pick 6.Common sense should tell you this.Use common sense(instead of this b.s.)
