It was a very good day...
$945 for 1st plus $73.40 on my cash card.
NYRA automatically updated the standings after the 9th, so the tally on their site doesn't count (contest encompassed Races 1-8). I had $71.40 for contest purposes as the bomb in the opener was $2 WP only, so $2 was deducted from the contest tally to account for no show betting.
A great start to a big week.
