Race ratings for your Double. Did not do any handicapping, just ran numbers through the computer. The 8, 9, 11 in the 6th look interesting because of morning line. 7th looks like a two horse race. GL.

Did anybody notice they ran a two horse race today at Pimlico. The 1st.
How can this be allowed to happen?

It can be allowed because all but two of the original list of starters were left to run.

If there had only been one horse left, the race would have gone off and there would have been a walkover (sans betting of course).

All of this has happened many times before over the history of racing.

Tri pays $35? with the fav off? People must be boxing this stuff... exacta was OK for a short field.

need chalk or the Casse here in race 4...

I don't want the . Tail was swishing badly in the win last time and then they had to lay her off almost a year... If they combined great care with good luck, and she's now sound then she deserves to beat me.

PA,
On what grounds are all the other starters allowed to be scratched?
It makes for a mockery.

On what grounds can you force a horse to run if the trainer meets all the rules regarding scratching (which they obviously did or they wouldn't have been allowed to scratch)?

It's just an unfortunate outcome...there have been 2-horse races before due to scratches...wasn't it an off-the-turf race? Off-the-turfers almost always have tons of scratches as nobody is going to force a horse (especially his connections) to run on the dirt when they don't like the surface.

You've been at this game quite a while...I know you know all this stuff.

[Robert Fischer]

Denny - on which grounds? On the grounds of PIM-LI-CO !
Just joking...

Pace is right about the rules, as usual.

I agree that it's kinda funky to run a 2 horse race. 5 horse NY fields are bad enough on takeout... Tough situation for the track to either potentially put a horse at risk or cancel the race entirely(never usually happen without severe weather or crazy event) ...

whooo that was close, great job by Brown and Mr. Abreu to get the 5 back to her original form. Still didn't like how much she was swishing the tail. Sometimes a habit, but not usually when combined with needing a year off...

I saw that on TVG......that is a sign of serious problems.
And a big slap in the face to the customers.

Can you imagine some poor schmuck who was NOT alive in the double?
