Bewildered Tom.. and then just disappointed how these embarrassments never end for the sport. Tina and I went downstairs for the race, so at ground level and without benefit of TV/audio, didn't know exactly what was going on until later. Here the vets were busy all morning looking for Saturday horses to scratch, but somehow are oblivious to a distressed horse on track that's one of the choices in one of the biggest races of the year. Great.

As I mentioned in a quick recap of yesterday in Selections, bad bookends to the day with some very nice things in between. But no matter how good the best portion of Day 1 was, the humiliating parts of the day will be get the focus (depending on what transpires today of course).
