Because Papi On Ice’s workout was initially published as a five-furlong move, the racing office would not accept the entry of Papi On Ice for a race.
Gazer, who is based on the main track and not the training track, said the time of the work was not changed but the distance was to comply with NYRA’s entry rules. Gazer said he was told by the clocker who timed Papi On Ice that the horse did work a half-mile in 51.33 as part of the five-furlong move in 1:04.60.

This is actually kinda laughable in the grand scheme of things.
Horse works 5f in 1:04.60
Rules say you need a 4f work and not one inch more...lmao
They give the 4f time and that is somehow devastatingly rule-breaking.
OK.
Whatever.
I'd appeal it also.
But hey...everything NYRA bad, right?
