As long as the race is taken off the turf before the sequence starts, nothing changes, nor should it.

"nor should it"? I bet the 2nd - 4th 5 minutes before the 1st and then they take the 3rd off the turf after I leave OTB and somehow I should get screwed because of the late change. At worst it should be a refund. Total BS

Maybe they should check YOUR schedule next time. For someone that rages so much against entitlement you sure feel entitled in this instance.

Ever heard of online wagering? Gulfstream owes you nothing in this scenario. They took the race off the turf 35 minutes before the sequence started and you want a refund because you left the OTB earlier than that? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Your point has no validity to it. They took the races off the turf before the sequance started. It's unfortunate, but it's nothing more than a case of bad luck. Now if they took it off after the 2nd, you would be absolutely correct to gripe.

how long would the line for refunds be once everyone knows you can make a potentially risk free bet whenever it's rained? win and you cash. lose and you get a refund.

sorry this happened but i see no fix other than what others have already said. if you bet 35 minutes before post and have no cancel option, you've taken the risk. blaming the track is just bad form.
