The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has introduced a minus pool alert to its NYRA Rewards Internet Wagering platform. The alert will only be displayed for races at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course.

The minus pool alert is triggered when the wagering on a NYRA race is such that a potential minus pool situation exists. The alert will appear at the top of the race program page and will read as follows:

“Potential minus pool situation, limited $2.10 payout on favorite possible. Odds continue to change until post time. A minus pool herein is possible but is not definite. These alerts may not be available for late-developing minus pools. This alert is for wagering informational purposes only. It should not be interpreted as a wagering recommendation. NYRA neither encourages nor discourages any wager into this pool.”
