On Gulfstream's card for this Friday the 22nd, was checking out the 2nd race & in the overnights the likely heavy fave Golden Pal has Irad named to ride, and he's also named on an MTO. Both are Wesley Ward horses, and there's a 3rd Ward entrant who has Prado named. Now I check out Equibase & DRF entries and it shows a flip flop of the riders on the two Ward horses in the main body of the field. How are we supposed to know which one is correct, and if there was a switch how was that allowed to happen after entries were taken?

And now looking at this race further they really screwed some stuff up - one of the MTO's on the overnight is now in the main body, and vice versa. If you are handicapping this race in advance be aware because I have a feeling the current DRF & Equibase info may be incorrect.

The overnight is a pdf created well in advance of the early entry file. The electronic entry file is sent to Equibase by the track and is more likely to be accurate than the pdf overnight.
