Oh Geez Norm, err, Chad. Though I'm sure they wouldn't have delivered one of those to his horses either, so really, the guy never had a chance there.

I'm a bit surprised the rules allowed him to scratch his horses. I thought after entering a horse, one needed a better reason than not getting some free grub to scratch.... :confused:

What kind of sandwich?
If it was pastrami from the stage deli, then he is justified doing it.

[chadk66]

they let you scratch horses for any damn reason now days. It surprises me they even have to give a reason anymore. When I trained there was a price to pay for scratching a horse.

Racing.com Park is the name of the track?? Wow, that's worse than Parx. :faint:

It was at Pakenham actually, on the radio today he claimed the racetrack CEO told him to scratch his horses and go home after he complained about the catering so that is what he did.

I really thought this thread was going to be about a horse that inadvertently ate a groom's sandwich that may have been on a poppy seed bun...
