She doesn't clip heels and MAYBE the winner stays up, but rules concerning the safety of horse and rider have to be enforced.
No,they don't always enforce them,and I guarantee you that if the horse had different connections/odds,then it would be called minor.More importantly ,they would say that it didn't impact the results.They usually care the most about

#1)who the best horse on the day was

In this race,they didn't give a sht about that.They are totally inconsistent.

Default pain free

Thanks for the contest. It was fun to do since I no longer play my small p6 tickets, although I do partake of the Choose 6 where offered. It was really pain free, no cursing at all

Hey guys... I just want to point out that:

1. I'm a doofus
2. I used Equibases numbers when I picked my numbers this morning (before I even drank my coffee)
3. I got 5 out of 6

After the 3rd went off I realized my 4th race numbers were off and I corrected it (kind of) by noting the error in bold. Then, the only race I missed picking the winner was Race 4 but my early edit noted that I was using Equibase numbers because Equibase had Red Opal as #5 (Program #6) and Udriga as #11 (Program #12)... I realized later I had more incorrect numbers but I didn't want to make any more edits for fear I would be accused of changing things after the fact Due to early scratches, in Race 5 Equibase had Paul's Hope as #7 (Program #8), and in Race 8 Equibase had Tony Montana as #13 (Program #14)...

Do I get credit for this or do I forfeit cause I'm a doofus? If so, I will accept that

I sure would like a Derby Trail shirt to go with the hat I bought... any feedback from the Forum?

A/J..

It's a REMARKABLE EFFORT... Also shows what Andy talked about on the show Monday... how tough it is to get through these even with a liberal budget. Another $2,000 likely gets the 5/6ers home towards the $400,000 payoff.. Look forward to a recap...

If I played the perfect ticket and just went deep enough in each leg to hit the winner it would have still cost me $5400 and that includes a single.
