I had a nice 5 dollar exacta MS to Country House, along with being singled to him in the Pick 4, Oaks Derby Double, thank god Code of Honor didn't finish 2nd or would have had the Tri as well, this one stung and still stings. If I had the 2nd or 3rd place horse and not MS and they didn't make a change, I honestly would have understood, considering it was the derby, the change really hurts overall, it won't kill the sport, but it will shy away some casual bettors, like my buddies who bet occasionally, when I explained to them the DQ and the money it cost me and others, they sounded like they did not want any part of horse racing.
That being said, i'm still sour, and have no desire to watch or play the Preakness or any races, but like the degenerate I am, I'm sure I will be back.
