So I watched it live. I can attest to the fact it was a good 10-15 minute inquiry. I think the chart caller is alluding to the length of inquiry versus calling them out.
I personally think this one should have been a refund but I'm generally of he belief 90% of the time horses cause their own trouble.
Btw... isn't this one of those areas where the rule is vey different via jurisdiction. Basically in some places if the horse acted up and caused its own trouble it's irrelevant what the starter did?
