Its time for NYRA to stop coupling horses.

[Stillriledup]

Cmon guys, its 2013.

If one part of an entry is scratched, the other part runs for purse only....even if the horse who is scratched was a horse you hated and you were essentially betting on the other horse.

Or, in the case of Tiz Gianni, you got 3-1 because he was coupled with no hoper Mia Poppy the other day.

California has been uncoupling horses for a long time now, it creates extra betting interests, extra income and doesnt put horseplayers in a position to have to bet on horses they don't want to bet on.

You stay up till 4am "burning the midnight oil" as Harvey loves to say, so what happens when a horse you've been sitting on for weeks shows up coupled with a horse you think stinks? Not fun.

Time to welcome yourselves to 2013.

Who knew "NYRA" coupled horses.

You just learn so much on the internet. In fact, the more you actually know, the more you can learn.

Sort of.

We all know NYRA couples horses to the detriment of the horseplayer, it time for NYRA to wake up and move into the 21st century.

I think Andy is maybe hinting that it isn't NYRA who created that rule but some other oversight/government/regulatory group that enforced that rule. Of course I could be totally wrong.

If this is the case , I'm sure that if NYRA was to make an effort to get the rule changed to uncouple entries, that sooner or later it would be done.

Also in the year 2013 can we not be dark for live racing on the holy days like Good Friday, Palm Sunday Passover or whatever those days are called......it's comedy at its finest that its either NYRA choice or ny state choice to be dark for live racing but yet 100 feet from the track the casino is in full swing

Spare me the bullshit

And when will we get a response on this no inquiry

[TravisVOX]

I'm willing to be most racetracks would love to be able to change certain rules they don't make but have to follow.

[therussmeister]

Whilst I would prefer no coupled entries, I would be satisfied enough if the State of New York got rid of the rule: coupled entry = no superfecta

"Either NYRA choice or NY State Choice" Good one Whizz, you don't want the Grammar police to give you a swatting!

Its funny how some racetracks get confused as to whether they are racetracks or houses of religion. I know when i go to NYRA on the Saturday before that dark Sunday you talk about, they ought have a sign on the front gates that says "racetrack today, house of worship tomorrow".

Love how they close in observance of some of these holidays.....like the horse bettors there that are barbarians really care

I'm sure they aren't eating meat and attending church those days.......nyra is a joke sometimes/all the time

People whine about short fields every day, then complain about a three day vacation for Easter? If you have to bet that bad, try crack. Might ease the jitters.
