you can talk about how La Traviata is a monster doesn't change the fact that the late scratch was unfortunate for people that are in a situation where you don't get the track announcements after they give the changes first thing in the morning.
The pick 4 with my pick would have paid over $1k. That is the only reason I risked my money. I would never do it for a $80 pick 4
I never had a prayer after they scratched Featherbed, a horse at least on paper is capable of keeping pace with La Traviata. I think whoever scratched the horse late needs to give me a refund of the $9 I wasted.
