I'm really surprised that nobody on this site has mentioned the Penn National fiasco last from last night.

what happened?

In the midst of an interview last evening with Horseplayers Association of North America president Jeff Platt, HRI learned that the second race at Penn National for Wednesday May 20 was declared a non-betting event when the betting pool didn't close until approximately 20 minutes after the race had been declared official.

The winning Twodoorsdown won the race at 10-1. The race, for $5,000 claimers going a a mile and 70 yards, was declared official and an announcement was made that prices were pending. While the prices were pending, the winner's odds dropped to 9-1, then 8-1, then, after the lengthy delay, the race was declared a non-wagering event and all wagers, including those properly placed, were refunded

What if you played your bet 5 min after it became official, then cashed it 15 min after it became official? Winner winner chicken dinner!

Read it again. . .

;) I am slow

This whole episode is a disgrace. Does anyone on this site actually bet? How could so few care if they do?

Just another way to lose, CJ.

I'm sure you've figured out by now that getting around all these annoying 'obstacles' is what makes the game so hard to beat/resist.

Of course, just once it'd be nice to get final odds the same as start of race odds.

I'd rather gouge my eyes out than bet Penn National, and I bet just about anything.

I'll take your questions in order.

Yes, I actually bet.

I do care, but Penn National is so far off my radar, that I don't care. I wouldn't have known anything even happened there if not for you caring about it.

I have a question for you. If I did care about what happens at Penn National, what do you suggest I do? Sharing my outrage on a horsey message board is not going to change a thing.

Tote malfunction prompts refunds at Penn National

A malfunctioning router at the communications hub for United Tote in Hillsboro, Oregon, led to betting pools remaining open following the start of the second race at Penn National Race Course on Wednesday night, a tote official said.

After discovering the software failure, Penn National management decided to refund the approximately $152,000 wagered on the race rather than going through the time-intensive process of figuring out which tickets were purchased before the race began, said Chris McErlean, vice president of racing for Penn National.

McErlean said the stewards at the Grantville, Pennsylvania, track realized there was a problem when they could not close and lock the pools with the button from their console. He said they immediately called the mutuels department to report the problem. The tote officials on site also could not lock the pools for the race. Twodoorsdown, owned by Galby Stable and trained by Michael Salvaggio Jr., won the $5,000 claiming race.

“We were potentially looking at significant amounts wagered past post,” McErlean said. “We felt it was fairest to declare the race a no-contest.”

At least they got the photo of the TKE frat house right.

:D

Penn National handled the situation poorly in my opinion. Do they honestly think those that won would rather have a refund then to share to pool with some that wagered past post? Of course they would not.

You guys seem to think this is a Penn National issue, but it is not. It could happen anywhere. It happened at Hollywood just last week, and has happened at other tracks before. It is a tote problem, not a specific track problem.

This game has enough problems without having to worry if your winning ticket is actually a winner.

CJ is right. I'm surprised nobody here seemed to know, or care, a thing about this. It's not always about the specific the directly affects us.....and certainly in this case the general can just as easily be the specific.

I think people are probably just so used to getting fugged over by every company and government agency at every possible opportunity, things like this just aren't that outrageous anymore.
