Confusing that they would own up to it this weekend, but not say anything about last weekend. Figured they would go all in one way or the other.
My suspicion is that last week’s incident may have been isolated to only TwinSpires, with only a few bets affected, so NYRA did nothing. And today was a network-wide issue (with NYRA themselves not locking the pool on time), so they had to refund.
That’s probably the worst case scenario, since it shows widespread failures all over the industry.
In the words of our President, maybe NYRA needs a total shutdown of these multi-track pick pools, until they figure out what the hell is going on.
