Tizmas - scr in R2 at Bel

[PhantomOnTour]

Was he even entered in the first place?
Cannot find that name in the entries, yet he is listed as a scr on the NYRA site and everywhere else.
:confused:

Not sure what you are looking at but EQB entries has him as a scratched half of the PP1 POE.

[PhantomOnTour]

Whoa man...weird.
He isn't listed in the entries of my BRIS data file, nor does he appear in the "program" on TwinSpires with a SCR notation and line through his name as other scr runners are.
Maybe he was SCR way early and thus didn't even appear in the data file or "program"

He isn't showing in TimeformUS PPs either, something is odd. Very early scratch is all I can figure.

[johnhannibalsmith]

Actually, looked at scratches and saw he was stews scratch. Seems odd since he is POE and generally wouldn't expect a stew scratch for a POE.

I think he's just plain ineligible if my quick glance at his charts and the condition aren't erroneous. He ran in and won an optional last time under allowance conditions so I'm guessing he was an early scratch and if you use some services, maybe they filter out the early scratches. Best guess.

He was an MTO.

He was an MTO.

Right, but those still usually show up in our PPs, just lined through. He isn't even listed.

This seems to be something that started this week at Belmont. They did not assign ML Odds before scratching. I think you will see it with Page McKenney in tomorrow's 8th as well. Nothing like staying consistent.

That horse is listed in the entries but doesn't appear in my data file, so you are correct about the SCR.
However, isn't it good that they SCR before assigning a morning line?
That way the line is true, only reflecting odds for actual runners, right?

It's no big deal...just seemed odd to me that he was listed as a SCR and I couldn't find him anywhere in my pp's today.
