How is this announced? Loudspeaker at the track? What about people who place bets and leave the track? People placing bets at OTBs and leaving? People placing bets at home? How are these people supposed to become aware of this?

This is a subject that goes beyond what happened in this instance, at this track. It's something that should have a common set of rules that are in the best interest of the fans and all tracks, simulcast facilities, and account wagering companies adhere to.
I agree Harrahs did the right thing with this one winner. How about the action for all the other action on this race?LaD has some rose colered glasses if they think they did the right thing.
