Interesting race

Not to interupt the Preakness debates but check out race 4 at CD today. First time I ever saw a race where every horse in the race got claimed

Am I missing something? It looks like none of them got claimed.

EDIT: OOPS, yep I'm missing something. It opened race one when I clicked the link -- didn't realize you had linked the whole card, not just the one race.

With that said, wow, that is strange.

Yea, I realized that afterwards -- thought the link was to an individual race and not the whole card.

Chuck thats also the first time I ever saw that every horse got claimed out of a race. I also have question gor you. Can a trainer claim more than one horse out of the same race?

Depends on the track but in KY you can claim more than one out of a race but cant put more than one claim in on any one horse even for different owners

Now check out race 7, same card. Tanyard Hill got claimed for $62,500...he got vanned off. Hope he's ok. Hope the new owners are ok too.

did not look good on the track

i'm very sorry to hear that. so the claim stays then, right ? the new owners bear the brunt of this misfortune ?

Also note the races are also being hand timed. Probably because the times that have been posted at CD this week have ranged from bizzare to just plain wrong. Apparently the guy who runs the timing devices is on vacation and an idiot is replacing.
