Here is a tip:

The Turf and Dirt race that is run simultaneously will be won by the horse on Turf. Matter of fact your Tri will be on the Turf. Turf races are always run faster than on dirt.

Well they screwed that up with the gates no opening for the woman on time....must have used some help from the Pinnicle crew from the other day!

Absolute failure in the Battle of the Sexes race:

The Turf gate failed to open so the dirt horses had a 5 second head start. of course the dirt horses finish in the top 6. There is an inquiry because of the incident. Probably refund all bets.

I was thinking they would make all the turf horses nonstarters and have them be scratched instead of voiding the race....leave it to the women to be late!

No, they made the right call. Way too many horses to void out. Not fair for the fans who bet on the turf horses.
