There was no point for anyone to put a horse in a race just to scratch to get a date when you already have a zero date in the case for the Del Castillo horse. A zero date is the best possible date you can have.

Its such a crap shoot to get in a race like that the first couple times it goes because its a popular race and everyone is going to have a zero date who wants to go in...you have to hope the racing gods help you out and get your entry pulled out of the box into the body of the race.
Dude, I hear ya, but we are probably entering The Magic Bus in the first MSW down there on the dirt just to get a date, and the horse is at Philly Park for the winter.

Tampa is like no other, there is no rhyme or reason why their office does what they do or how they do it
