More Corruption at Philly Park
Sorry folks, but the decisions being made there have absolutely no consistency. 2 objections thus far today, and one results in a dq, where one doesn't. Both infractions were basically the same with the second one being more flagrant than the first. I know you people will be quick to defend the stewards, but look at it objectively. This sort of garbage destroys horse racing! Races 3 and 8. Both involving Apprentice Carol Cedeno, and both go in her favor. Both wins were awarded to the higher priced horse. To the stewards who made these decisions, I say if you take the first one down, you definately had to take the second one down. Shame on you!

I didnt see the last race you are talking about, but I was very suprised to see them take down the 6 horse in the 3rd. It seemed like minor contact possibly after the wire.

its obvious, you must be correct...
we should abolish the sport.
hey, they were doing the exact same things during the baseball game last nite.
and i remember several bad bad bad calls, last year, in all footballs games ive ever seen.
and, baskets, you cant believe, the calls... im shocked.
lets put a STOP to the madness.
hey, i got it, hiking!
no rules, no refs, no payouts, no bribes, just broads and butts, all day long.
im easy, youve won my heart

Moving over three paths, then over two is not minor.

Yes I agree with you. In the last race Cedeno's mount went straight sideways about 5 paths out of the gate, forcing both the 2 and 3 to take back hard.
I play alot of tracks, and these guys make the worst decisons, and it never surprizes me. You see mistakes made at other tracks, but not like you do at Philly.

We have to have rules, so let the stewards follow them please!

Let's see..we have jockeys under investigation, drug-giving trainers, bad-ass owners. But no, these stewards are just loveable guys who are beyond reproach.

yep, i agree, ive never never ever, seen any bad boys at any other track.
after-all, Cain kills Able, but that was so long ago.
and now we have Philly Park taking us back in time, towards "when things were rough".
ive never seen such audacious bad-ass thugs, Since I Was ABLE.

If you lost money on those two races, I am sorry, But I know that Carol Cedeno is a good jockey and I am sure that she would not mount recklessly. I know that she has a bright future ahead of her, and she would not mount recklessly on purpose

I'm sure Carol is too. Whether or nor she intended to take her mount sideways is not the point here. Her horse veered out about 5 paths out of the gate and cost both the 2 and the 3 their rightful positions. Her horse was not taken down. In the third race the winner came out about 3 paths but did not brush Cedeno's horse. Carol called the objection and won. No consistency in the 2 decisions at all..this is what I take issue with.

Bad Availability.
I don't like Monday -Tuesday's b level racing but...
Philly isn't that user friendly, at any time.
The last two weeks in a row I've been able to get the TV feed liveon my computer.
Other than that I have to keep hitting a try again button about 50 times
before surrendering to wait for the results or maybe by luck getting the pic.
For replays, I use drf's service.
They have all the other tracks. But not Philly's.
Maybe befuddlem they are not too interested in letting us review the race? Where are the replays available for that track?
(And no, I don't want to subscribe just to watch them.)
