Odd conditions

I don’t recall seeing any like this before. I always thought race conditions were supposed to be for horses. :D I don’t guess the underlined parts will be showing up in the pps.

There were 3 horses in that first race that had different trainer names on them than in their previous race. What a co-inkeedink that the name switches made them eligible. :rolleyes: Didn’t seem to do any of them any good though. I guess a loophole you can drive a truck through is only good if you have a truck. Maybe they were just trying to fill the race. ???

That's a great point. Kind of like when Dutrow was allegedly suspended but his horses all ran in the name of Juan Rodriguez, his assistant. Barn didn't miss a beat, won right around 30% for the so-called new conditioner.
