For whatever reason (valid or not) around this particular issue I pick up a strong undercurrent of various other things that apparently NYRA figures strongly in...nobody reasonable cares anything about the track involved.
Come up with one model policy that everyone agrees is ideal -- that is something worth talking about and spending time on.
To me, part of 1 of that is that coupled entries themselves are FAR from ideal. Eliminate them.
Part 2 for me would be refunds, but there are downsides to that as well.

It's amazing when you watch the uncoupled odds on BF, when looking at the tote. With a 1, 1A and 1B race and five entries (which happens of course), where the 1 is 5-2 on BF, the 1A is 4-1 and the 1B is 9-1, those horses are 3-5 or 1-2 on the board. The race is a total cross out and no one will look at it, but when you split them and eliminate the entry, it turns out is a very good betting race.
