The people that ran the event did figure it out.
NYRA denied the entry of Nicky's Boy in the Wood last year. She had no business in the race and NYRA responded. A horse like Rick's Natural Star should never have been allowed to run in the BC Turf in 1996.
I don't see how this is even remotely close to that. The horse was 2 lengths behind the eventual winner earlier in the year and 6 lengths behind the runner up. Was he almost impossible to use...sure. But impossible to the point of what you and Irwin are suggesting...no way. Especially considering Irwin has started similar looking horses in Classics in the past.
