Imposter horse was the 'favored' horse

[Port Conway Lane]

SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (KRQE) - A major mix-up at a popular New Mexico racetrack is now under investigation after an imposter took the field in the place of a horse that was favored to win.

“Quiero Dinero” ran as No. 10 Sunday and was favored to win the second race at Sunland Park in southern Doña Ana County. But a horse named “Sweet Jody Brown” ran in its place coming in fifth.

Wow that is bizarre.

(Oh and are you the real Port Conway Lane or an imposter?)

So the one guy willingly resigns but what happens to the trainer (who said the wrong horse was brought to Sunland cause of a mix up with paperwork)? I mean when exactly did he realize this?

THis is crazy all the way around.

No idea how they make this right...

I still have $20 in various tickets on Life At Ten from the Ladies Classic waiting for Churchill to make a belated announcement that any tickets wagered on her will be honored and refunded.

One of the more bizarre tote glitches happened at Pimlico around 1980 when the newer tote machines didn't comprehend a three ply entry running 1-2-3 and payed out the exacta 1/all for $4. Weeks later they honored the backers of the 7 horse (who finished fourth) their $9 payout but by that time 90% of those tickets were probably cashed for $4. That race did turn out to be profitable for the floor sweepers.

Be prepared to have those tickets for the rest of your life.

It makes me wonder... If it weren't for the fact that the horse was claimed no one but the connections would know.

So the tattoo reading is a crock of sh1t or somebody didn't do their job properly?
