What they probably do is **** the bettor... They have a history of it

Rushing to beat the storms. They need to fire the queen who obsesses over that f.ucking turf course.

lots of unhappy people that race, DQ'?

[jms62]

DQ'd for breaking through the starting gate??? Are you kidding me?

They can't clean up this mess. The rain is coming omg!!! Thanks douches.

"While it could be argued Mystical Star was at a disadvantage, it is a rule that she needed to be DQ'd. Unfortunate for sure." Quote from D Grening

Going to take a quick break. Feel the slide coming if I don't.

I'm not really sure what else they could do. The 1 was a valid DQ as he started before the others regardless of him rearing up. The 2 was a valid non-starter as the starter had a hold of his bridle. There is no jurisdiction in the country as fair as NY in declaring non-starters. I disagree that NY has the worst rules in the country, FL is far worse for one.

Why did they start the race?

The right thing to do is pay a guy to hold a flag at the start of the turn to let the jockeys know a dq has happened. This is what occurs in real sports. A gun shot, flag etc. ANYTHING.

That was ridiculous. Amateur hour. For a stakes race for crying out loud. During a pick 4 where they advertise and entice guarantees.

Embarrassing.

Obviously the starter and the guys in the gate were not in sync. But. I don't see what else they should do. Other jurisdictions may have let the result stand which is not fair either. I guess you can argue they should have voided the race and refunded as Coach said, but I can count the number of times that has happened on one hand. Maybe the State will use this race as an excuse to fully revoke NYRA's franchise.

A rule is a rule so I have to live with it but they need to take a look at that rule. The bettor should not be punished for a ****up by starter or gate crew that wipes out the bettors interest at the start.

I didn't think the starter had a hold of the 1, but if you saw that then you are right the 1 should have been declared a non-starter. If there is a problem here I don't think it is the rule that is the problem, rather the interpretation of the stewards would be. I can't see how you can reward a horse who started before the others.
