Default The Most Awful Beat EVER
It didnt happen to me but what I just saw at Churchill Downs was pretty sickening.

Last leg of the pick 6 and there was ONE ticket alive to 164k. Race was a msw. Anyway, the ticket was alive to the morning line favorite (the 6) aptly named BOLTRONIC. Anyway, the race ends up a three horse photo between the 6,10 and 2. After about a 3 minute photo, 6 is posted unofficially. The guy must have been going crazy.

Anyway, inquiry sign comes up. After a few more minutes, the 6 is taken down for bumping in the stretch with the second place finisher. It was a righteous DQ as albarado was whipping left handed as the horse was veering out. It still didnt make it any better for the guy that went from 164k to a consolation.

Did anybody else see this?

Yea, saw that and the willpay being live to only ONE horse....that's got to hurt so much.

But I don't disagree with the DQ

Much worse than me hitting 5 of 6 at Aqueduct on a $16 ticket and missing Midwatch. I had the 7 who ran 2nd at 21-1 and the 1 who ran third.

As I posted in the Selections thread, I was sure the 10 won the photo and said "what a heartbreaker", but this had to hurt even more.
