I assume you realize we don't want to take races off the turf? Right? It costs us a ton of handle. We are also racing for three months on the turf this Fall at Aqueduct, not the usual one month, so tearing the courses up at the beginning of the second week of the meet would have a significantly negative affect on the courses later in this year's elongated meet. Every decision has repercussions.
I find it interesting that the same horseplayers that are required to make intricate handicapping decisions every day, have difficulty making easier determinations on their own. Most answers are common sense.

OMG you finally admitted to the fact that scratches and races being taken off the turf costs NYRA a ton on handle. Thanks for that…it took a while but someone got you to say it.
