Default Aqu 7th: why no refund on the #10?

Again I was at OTB , caught the first leg of the late p4 , don't know what happened to the #10 in the gate but clearly there was a horse acting badly and a gate crew member interfering with the #10 when the gate opened.

I feel for anyone who had bet the 10 to win or used him in eactas, how there is not a refund on the #10 i will not know. Half of OTB was kicken and screaming.

And on top of that the $2 tri came back awfully short for the #'s involved , shouldn't it have been closer to double the amount it paid?

Does anyone agree with me and half of the OTB that there should have been a refund and/or that the tri came back short ?

no i lost fair and square at GP , i lost fair and square erlier in the day at the big a

i just posted what i saw and what others around were screaming about in today's 7th , clearly if you saw it there was gate crew interference, i saw it and half of the otb i was at saw it - maybe i'm dumb , maybe steve can get someone from NYRA ( a steward perhaps) on the show to ask him if they even look at those tyoe of situations.

Normally I'd be inclined to agree with the dissenters but since the OTB gang saw it the same way, I'll have to defer to them. I mean, some of the most astute horseplayers in the history of the game are hanging out at my local OTB, puffing away.

Did the gate crew hold the horse for 30 seconds?

He never came out for God's sake.

If you bet the 10.......sorry.

the horse decided to take a seat just as the gates opened.
It couldn't have been forseen.

And there's no difference between that and
when a runner leaps at the start throwing the jock.

the end result would be the same.
You must have seen a very different Head-on replay than I did. Or you are in bad need of an Optomitrist.
