Sunday Break & Irony
Steve was talking about how generous NY is when it comes to declaring horses non-starters, "and it was the favorite". It was ironic that the very next topic he brings up the fact that Sunday Break had sired a horse that was racing tomorrow.
Sunday Break was a favorite that fowled a horse or was it the field? and because he was a favorite they did nothing. They seem convinced that looking the other way when a favorite is involved was good for racing. That more people would be happy. And people think I am crazy to think that odds influence the stewards decisions. I would have called in and raised that question but gee not taking any calls.

As is the case frequently, I'm having trouble deciphering what you mean. There is nothing the stewards can do about refunding money when there are DQ decisions made within a race. Is that you ascertion?
In NY, they can and do refund on 'non-starter' scenarios more than anywhere else in the country.
