Belmont Handicappers Challenge
Does anyone know the results of this past weekends Belmont handicappers challenge.
I can't believe it no news about it on the DRF website or the host track NYRA website.
I was at the track at Belmont and not once did they mention anything about the handicappers challenge during the course of the day.
Do they have anyone that runs their public relations department.

The photo appeared on the NYRA site after the original poster inquired.

Well then, bravo. All those who say you can't get anything accomplished by emailing the powers that be, take note.
This should be a lesson for all those I keep telling to email the tracks and the TRPB with their past-posting concerns.

I try on occasion. I've even placed a phone call, this is going back a year or two, to Charlestown on a DQ that i thought was terrible. I got thru to the stewards booth and had a 20 minute conversation with the judge there, he appreciated my input is what he said and he told me i made a sharp observation and thanked for the call.
I just need a little more effort from the industry, just a little more, im not asking for them to make penicillin out of moldy bread, just asking for effort. If i see effort, i'll be there to nudge them in the right direction.

DQs are judgement calls. It's tough to argue a judgement call with a steward.
It's not even worth the time in my opinion.
But these alleged past-posting incidents are another ball of wax altogether. They either happened or they did not. And there should be verifiable hard evidence in existence with the tote companies. Somebody needs to put in the effort to start an email campaign.
Why not try and get the boys at HANA involved in this? If it's legit, then I don't see why they wouldn't get behind it. They have a few ears in this industry.
Why do I have to spell out all this obvious stuff to everyone?
