New York To Continue Twin Double At Harness Tracks
New York harness tracks will permit the twin double wager to continue after a Roosevelt Raceway riot last Friday. The state Harness Racing Commission will study its desirability further before any ban. The riot followed six of eight horses failing to finish in the sixth race, wiping out most tickets sold. Causes cited include crowd emotion, public misunderstanding of the rule that a race is official if one finishes, uncoordinated security response, and track accidents.
