Default New NYRA Website Feature - Turf Condition

We installed a new feature on the website this week which will give immediate updates on turf races. The link is located on the right side of the page, near the top, and just below the NYRA Rewards link. You can click on this link to get up to date information if and when races are taken off the turf. For instance, before 8am this morning you could find out that today's 5th, and only the 5th, was taken off the turf.

nice addition. will help take some of the guesswork out of handicapping them (or give us more time to re-cap if the condition changes).

If you listened to Byk yesterday he told the audience that we(he is the real we not you) would be on the turf and it would be listed fast with a "bit" of cut in it today.. Is this NYRA's trying to mitigate listening to Byk.. If so I find the practice distasteful.. There is room for both parties to work together.

When a second person at NYRA learns who Steve Byk is I will have him give you a call.

MY GAWD. I am amazed that anyone responds to this stuff. I'll bet you don't have easy pass because of some conspiracy nonsense. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. And now I hear the Twilight Zone music.

I am kidding around.. Relax BTW and Steve know I am just having some fun.. Byk did report the future state of the turf yesterday. I guess the super didn't let him know the 5th would be pulled.

Lighten up a bit.

He was merely teeing it up so Andy could knock it out of the park.

Obviously Stevie B. didn't contact the super in time to upgrade it. NYRA is going to have to pay attention to the show more carefully in the future.. This is outrageous.
