Watched it on TVG, what a joke. I mean if they are gonna let the mess at the gate slide, I can deal with that. HOWEVER....how can they let the 8 stay at two when he mauled the 2 while lugging in? Totally impeded the path of that horse.

One of the more frustrating things in racing is the stewards.

I will say it again, that coast is strictly the minor leagues when it comes to stewards and management. MINOR LEAGUES. Nowhere have i ever seen more just terrible calls. And how about ole follicle fermin going after Pval and not knowing the difference between a strand and a follicle. Then there was Mullins claiming one off the ole bro in law and then of course they go after him.
Its a mess out there. No wonder everyone leaves.

Tough to disagree with this. This was one of the more agregious offenses in recent memory (and that says something) and they sat on their thumbs about it. Didn't have money on it, but come on...there are people that did.
A few more years and Hollywood will just be a parking lot with a Kohl's, TGI Fridays and Bed Bath and Beyond, so its just a matter of time.

I saw it, too, and cannot understand how the stewards could not DQ somebody for that start. A jump or two from the gate, some non-linear motion, a little bumping could be acceptable. But the 2 coming out and the 8 coming in did a lot more than that and caused an extremely dangerous situation. Riders should get days - if they don't, the stewards have abdicated their responsibility to look out for the jockeys' and horses' saftey.

Suffolk Shippers · #6 06-07-2006, 05:49 PM

I honestly think the stewards were off track when this happened, and the video machines went down when they were asked to look at it. That is the only explanation I have for their assinine actions

California Racing has been a joke for some time now...

I live out here and am racing back in NY State. Enough said....

However, have seen many strange DQ's or lack there of at other tracks. Arlington comes to mind.

I have not looked at his picks but I would imagine a coupled entry... 1 and 1A.
Ya pick one, ya get both.

Nah P, that ain't it. 1 and 2 are the top contenders, A and B are underneath horses and/or alternates.

Ateam is correct
