sight,how does that help the horse? the rule only protects the person claiming the horse

Palm Sunday, no betting in NY, crazy rule

SPILL AT GULFSTREAM SENDS LOPEZ, GALLARDO TO HOSPITAL....jockey Jurado walked off and the 3 horses involved appeared to come away with no injuries

I played in the tourney at Santa Anita the first year and at CD last year. SA was great but CD was spectacular, the balcony view was phenomenal, the atmosphere electric and we were treated superbly. Essentially the cost is $2500 with a great upside as Jerry has pointed out, many of us will push $7500 through the windows over the 2 days anyway so give it a shot, I promise you won\'t regret it

andy serling tweeted that the 5-13 exacta was paying less than the 5 to win before the race was off

wow! Good day for the stoopers!

it is meant to  protect the bettor but in this day and age where it is easy to cancel a bet maybe a bit outdated.  imagine this exaggerated scenario, an entry reaches the starting gate as 1 and 1A with 1 being a huge favorite with a fantastic closing kick ala Silky Sullivan and 1A being entered as a rabbit. Say you place 10k to win on the 1 and upon loading the 1 breaks through the gate and is scratched by the vet. Now you would still have 10k to win on the 1A but with little chance of cashing. running for purse money only protects the bettor in this unlikely but possible situation.

when someone gives you a gift the proper response is \"Thank you\"

if you have it twice you can\'t win, go figure

great call, sorry.

get call TG!!!

well said leamas

good call NYC, I miss your posts on this forum (don\'t always agree but am always entertained, and more importantly, usually forced to look at a horse from a different perspective)

AMEN!!!!!!!!  Well said P-Dub. I love this game and all it entails. The equine and human athletes, the camaraderie in the clubhouse, and yes even the naysayers for their difference of opinion. Next week at Santa Anita is going to provide some memories that will last me until I\'m gone and very few events in a persons life fall into that category.
