Just to clear up any confusion....
You are allowed
3 plays per day -- you are never out with any loss! You just start again with a new $5.00.
If you
post late and your horse hits -- you get a "
No Play" as the play wasn't posted in time. You must post 1 full minute prior to the official Post Time.
If you
post late and your horse misses -- that
play counts against you even though it was late as your intention was clear.
Thanks to the players who respond to inquiries as it would be impossible for the moderators to be actually moderating at all times.
