Life at Ten
Could somebody help me out to what the F happened? Was she lame? I Put some bets in with about a minute to post and didn't see any of the post parade. There seemed to be a very big problem with her.

Johnny V said to the ESPN guys before the race that she wasn't warming up right and something was wrong. This is B-A-D.

Pletcher said she should've been scratched. Had a bad warm up and not herself. JV was concerned enough he asked the Vets to check her out and ESPN was all over her not being herself. She burned alot of money at 3-1 is all I know.

They interviewed Johnny V when she was warming up. He wasn't comfortable with her at all. She shouldn't have ran

Colic maybe? She was too quiet.

Pletcher said she may have had a bad reaction to Lasix or the lights were bothering her or a combo. They should have scratched her. People who placed a bet on her have a right to be angry.
A really screwed up day of racing.

What a disgrace, pure and simple, in every way.
Between 10 other horses and riders potentially being put in danger, and hundreds of thousands of guaranteed losing tickets, this was beyond shameful.

Not just tickets on LAT in question. My friend and I played a tri and super based on a potentially sharp pace. We were at a simulcast and didn't get to see or hear the pre race because we were in line to bet. Our bet assumed that LAT would be involved in the pace and set up a kickers race. When LAT looked like an old lesson horse out of the gate we were both stunned. When the splits were posted we knew we were in deep weeds. When Acoma was sitting third, I was cooked. Whether betting on her or against her, people playing the race had the right to fit and sound participants. Everyone in all the pools in that race had to have figured a 7/2 mare with high early speed as a factor in the race, even if they bet against her. As a multi-race player, I had no way to know before the prior races that there was concern about Life At Ten.

She stumbled twice in the post parade while JRV was trying to get her to warm up a little.
Watching it again - it reminded me of the time my ear drum broke. I could barely keep my balance doing anything more than a walk. She didn't seem to have very good balance when JRV attempted to warm her up.

TP also said in the post-race that LAT was not quite right when being saddled - "she almost seemed sedated" - He said that he wanted Johnny V "to really warm her up".
So IMO when she didn't respond, the onus was on the jockey to inform the VET that there was a problem. I know that it is a tough call for the jockey when owners are at the races to see her run, but .... what if she was injured during the race?
