They could apply and work for the NFL!

So post the hi-res photos on the track websites/twitter feed. Just goes back to the lack of transparency that is plaguing the industry.

Social media department could take this race and post a replay of the thrilling stretch drive and post the hi-res photo of the finish. “Look at our sport and the kinds of finishes that happen. If you think football is a game of inches, think again.”

Instead it’s “hey here’s a grainy photo that we took 30 seconds to look at before declaring the odds on favorite the winner.”

I'm just telling what happens, not defending how it is done. I believe on the track feeds they do show the real photo. Why it isn't posted on the internet I don't know.

quick look at it, the line is drawn too thick.



probably with a fine line the 9 is a clearer winner

Long time Lurker, first time poster here...

Anyways, did anyone see race #6 at Remington Park On Wednesday, 10/16?

How in the WORLD did they DQ the #7 horse? Granted, it helped me out on my Pick 4 ticket, but I'm still in shock.. He completely clears the #2 horse, who checked up for no apparent reason.. It's by far the worst call I've ever seen in racing.. Anyone have any insight as to what I'm missing here?

He came in pretty abruptly on the backstretch causing the 2 to bang into the 1, who actually hit the rail. This is why he wasn't just place behind the 2, but was placed last behind the 1. You can sort of see it in the attached image, but the replay is pretty clear.

Race 7 at Turf Paradise. Why no objection from 7 against 1?

[dilanesp]

Pretty darned surprised they left the up in the 2nd at DMR yesterday.

He won the race by a whisker and came out and bumped the , who finished second, hard in the stretch.

Under the rules here in California, that's supposed to be an automatic DQ. Indeed, I saw the bump when I watched the race at full speed.

Tampa Bay race 3. How... what... why... where...?

[Onion Monster]

Breen asked for a stewards inquiry in the MuchoMachoMan and was deservedly rebuffed for an incident at the top of the stretch. But the foul came at the wire when Chance It herded As Seen on Tv for a photo win. Apparently the stewards didn't even look at the stretch finish. Odd.

I had bet $2.00 to win on the 7, 8 & 10. I watched the race on Amwager and when the #4 won I threw my ticket into the loser pile and turned off Amwager.

Had I not seen you post I might have never dug my ticket out.
The #8 was placed 1st and paid $95.00.

Thanks for posting.

I thought both the 4 and 7 went for the same hole and although the 4 did bump the 7, Rosario (on the 7) either overreacted or, knowing he had horse, shifted out to the other side of the horse in front of him, then finished well for third.

The stewards ruled the 7 was cost a better placing. I had bet the 4 so can't be totally objective.



Under Category 1 rules, by which the stewards would have had to determine if there was a foul (which they did determine in this case), then if not for the foul would the 7 have finished in front of the 4 (instead of did the foul cost the 7 at better placing), I don't think the 4 would've been taken down.

In the 3rd at Gulfstream Irad just showed how to do just enough intentional drafting to affect a close finish, yet not enough to warrant a DQ.
