ANDY SERLING LIVE CHAT TONIGHT ON NEW YORK SHOWCASE DAY

 

ELMONT, N.Y. – Andy Serling, TV analyst for The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA), will participate in a live chat tonight, Friday, October 22, at 8 p.m. EDT. The homepage for the NYRA live chats is http://www.nyra.com/livechat/index.shtml.

 

Serling, who maintains a Twitter page (http://twitter.com/andyserling) where he gives out his selections daily, will answer questions regarding Saturday’s blockbuster 10-race New York Showcase Day card, featuring seven New York-bred stakes worth nearly $1 million.

On Saturday, NYRA will offer its regular $300,000 guaranteed Late Pick 4 on races 7-10.  The Late Pick 4 is a $1 minimum wager in which the bettor must correctly pick the winners of the last four races on the card. By guaranteeing the wager for $300,000, NYRA will supplement the difference if the total wagering pool for the Saturday Late Pick 4 is less than $300,000.

Fans who wish to participate in the live dialogue with Serling may log on to http://www.nyra.com/livechat beginning tonight at 8 p.m. No pre-registration is necessary and users may simply type questions and comments in the chat field at the bottom of the page for Serling to address. At the conclusion of the chat, an “instant replay” is created for future reference.

 

NYRA has conducted live chats since October 23, 2009. NYRA TV Analyst Serling regularly hosts the chats, and there have been fifteen guest hosts: NYRA President Charles Hayward, NYRA Chief Operating Officer Hal Handel, trainers Gary Contessa, Bill Mott, Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown, leading New York jockey Ramon Dominguez, recently retired veteran New York rider Richard Migliore, Hall of Fame riders Angel Cordero and Jorge Velasquez, jockey Rajiv Maragh, trainer and NYTHA president, Rick Violette, NYRA Racecaller and Director of TV Production John Imbriale, NYRA TV Analyst Jason Blewitt and NYRA Oddsmaker Eric Donovan.
