Parx is suck a dump!

If a horse doesn't come out on her own, they don't refund...only refunds if there's a gate malfunction or a starter makes a mistake....they don't refund horses who are just bad actors.

Thanks Still. I was expecting some sort of explanation from Keith Jones. Nothing.

March 22 Race 6 DQ at GG was borderline criminal so yeah, i can believe anything at Ron Hansen's old stomping grounds.

I can't fathom the dq in the 7th a Keeneland that just took place. A very long wait for the decision and then a head on shot that showed the basically just moving out from the rail and finding an opening in a way that I've seen 10,000 horses do in 10,000 races without any dq. I don't get it. All I get is I had the 2 for $25.60 and an exacta for $121.60 and got screwed.

Hoover just said on TVG that he had never seen a horse "get their picture taken" and then get taken down.

Simon said "ive seen worse than this so i'd be shocked if they made a change"

Color Simon Shocked.

The DQ in the 8th made the DQ in the 7th look legit.

The Steward's Report from Keeneland:

April 18, 2015

Race 7

An objection was lodged by the rider of sixth place #4 “Entwistle” (Paco Lopez) alleging interference by the rider of the winner #2 “Lookaroundcorners” (Luis Saez) near the 1/16 pole. After reviewing the films and interviewing the riders the stewards determined that the #2 came out abruptly from the rail, first interfering with #6 “Key to the Bridge” (Rafael Hernandez) and also causing #4 to check sharply. For the interference with both horses, #2 was disqualified from first and placed tenth, behind #6.

Official order of finish: 10-8-5-12



Race 8

A Stewards’ Inquiry was posted and in addition an objection was lodged by the rider of third place #7 “Spinning Wheel” (Julien Leparoux) alleging interference by the rider of second place #2 “Mayla” (Robby Albarado) nearing the 1/16 pole. After reviewing the films and interviewing the riders, the stewards determined that #2 came out sharply brushing #7 and causing her to alter course. The interference was confirmed and #2 was disqualified from second and placed third.

Official order of finish: 9-7-2-3

It was a shit DQ. And I had the 10 that benefited my wallet.

The 4 was going nowhere, and the 2 had to get out in order to pass tiring horses.

Sure, he came over 3 or 4 lanes, but it was a turf race when the real racing was to be done. If you ain't moving forward, step aside.

Not only did the get taken down after a spectacular 1st out effort, but placed 10th.

10th. Out of the money, and zero to the connections.

1st to 10th. Awful decision.

Also, why does it seem whenever I try to find the head-on replay of a controversial call, this video is unavailable? Do other people find this as well? As if people weren't suspect enough of the calls already. I e-mailed some tracks for information on this (as I was advised to do by the replay providers) & was met with complete silence.

Calracing.com won't provide head on replays of races with controversial home stretch steward decisions. As if that's the only reason we want the replay. Maybe we'd like to be able to see the replay to handicap other races. No, these laimo stewards cover their asses, and they just look more inept by not disclosing what they viewed to make their decision. 99 times out of 100 I want the replay for something else. I already know the stewards suck. I don't need any more proof.
