SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Embattled defending champion Oracle Team USA postponed a second America's Cup race on Tuesday, saying it needed to regroup after Emirates Team New Zealand won its fourth commanding victory on San Francisco Bay.
Software billionaire Larry Ellison's American team appeared shell-shocked and asked for the time out just before the start of race two, under a rule giving the teams the right to delay one race in the 17-race series for the world's oldest sporting trophy. The so-called postponement card is generally reserved for boat breakdowns.
