I think its gonna be a long long time
Yesterday 6/26 while waiting between races at PHA I looked up at the TV screen over head and saw a race from Arlington(#5) was almost ready to be run
I had no Racing Form or even a track Program as I was just wagering Philly
and already had my choices. I was just watching the odds
to make my final decisions The TV screen right over my table was showing Arlington
I noticed that the favorite was 7/2 and It was a three way entry
I figured I would just scum around since the upcoming Philly race looked like another pass
I figured that the 3 way entry must not be to strong at 7/2 But maybe one of them
could place I went up and got an Exacta ticket All with #1 for $1
it cost $9.00 So the race goes off and the race is full of #1's but they are all camera
shy I guess they like hanging around together at the barn and now they are running together watching the other horses rears The race bunched up at the end and I did see one of the
#1 entry up there They posted the results #2 13/1 #10 14/1 and #1X 5/2
The race looked strange then sure enough there was an Inquiry
This turned out to be the longest Inquiry I ever saw. The top 3 finishers the 2 10
and 1X were blinking So I thought maybe they will take the 2 or 10 down and I would hit the Exacta It was taking forever they kept showing the replay but it was just chaos
It just looked like a rumble Everyone was crashing into each other
I read the result charts for this race and the comment was
THE TRAINER OF JAGUAR FRIEND #10 LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST FORT PRADO #2 ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH AND THE RIDER OF PRAIRIE KING #1X LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST JAGUAR FRIEND ALSO ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH BUT NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
It seemed like after a while they just said screw it! Let it go.
. Has anyone ever seen a race like this?
Just so much chaos they just let it stay
No sour grapes intended. It was just a fun bet for me
But it was still weird how long they took to do nothing
