Title: Seriously
Post by: TGJB on November 06, 2010, 11:02:04 AM
I know CD considers themaselves a gaming company now, but this is some serious BS. Biggest day in racing, they have a dead rail and a grass course where horses feet come out from under them for no reason?

There is a reason. They probably over watered the grass and it\'s loose.

Euros were complaining it was too firm so they watered it.   They bend over backwards for these clowns.   If they don\'t like the course they need to be told to pound sand and stay home.

All because of a horse who scratched anyway.

Word is the horse appears fine.  Appears to have just slipped.  Muscle sore.

ABC just said they put the horse down.  Broken shoulder from the fall.

I don\'t know.  They took the horse off in a van with right shoulder soreness is the scuttlebutt.

Just saw your post: the shoulder makes sense.

Well if they didn\'t put him down, then ABC reporters live at the track told a bold-faced lie to a few million people.
