I'll be there!

:tro: :tro:

WOW, Dinner in Odem is running!!

Wasiluk is such an idiot.

Maybe he'll get some consideration for Trainer of the Week.

LOVE the avatar Kev!

I don't get this...

Anyone want to explain? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! It just seemed kinda bizarre.

(Good luck to Colonel Klink).

i wish i could be! go klink!!!

Gio Ponti and The Colonel! Can't pass it up, see everyone Saturday.

How about the lineup in the 9th? Few hard knocking old fellas running for 25.

Lighting Power
Ballast
Tiger Woodman

I'm all over Edgar Perez/Dale Bennett (44%) in that one Kev

You and me both Dan. Thats the play of the day IMO

I also think Edgars mount is a nice price play underneath Gio Ponti in the TBBC

Old guys rule!

Almoradi to beat Gio.

Oh well...

Good for Karelian! :D

edit - Objection / No change.

I though there wasn't a chance in hell of them leaving Rosemary up there. She rode some race, I'm glad they left her number up.

It would've been a shame if they took her down, which I was totally expecting them to do.

Gio holds his ground and stays in the same path while Karelian floats out? You've got a rightful DQ. The fact that they float out 8 paths together with NO contact and then barely brush (if at all) just before the wire says totally correct on the non-DQ to me. Even Ramon admits the horse never hit Gio Ponti in the DRF recap.

Was sure Karelian was coming down -- refreshed to see he didn't.

61D-13.004 Maintaining a Straight Course.
(1) If the stewards determine that a racing infraction was intentional, or due to careless riding or driving, the jockey shall be held responsible.
(2) When the way is clear in a race, a horse may be ridden or driven to any part of the course, but if any horse swerves, or is ridden to either side so as to interfere with, impede, or intimidate any other horse, it is a racing infraction.(3) The offending horse shall be disqualified if, in the opinion of the stewards, the racing infraction altered the outcome of the race, regardless of whether the infraction was accidental, willful, or the result of careless riding.


According to the rules of racing in FL the horse should have come down. The horse obviously came out 4 or 5 paths and despite what you hear contact is not part of the rule. How it was ruled that Arnolds horse didnt at the very least intimidate Gio Ponte by bearing out so much in the stretch means to me the stewards dont even know the rules either because with the margin of defeat so close how could you possibly judge the infraction did not alter the outcome of the race?
