You're telling me. Put aside the fact that my key horse didn't run a step. That happens. What galls me is that the scratches in Race 3 of #9-12, all of whom were listed in by Equibase as AE's, didn't occur until 12:00, after race #1 had been declared official and while the Daily Double probables for races 2 and 3 were still listing them as runners.

I made the mistake of posting my ROI entry at 11:55, then looking at the DD probables to see how race 3 was going to be bet, and assuming that the horses who were being bet in the back half of the double were somehow going to be in the race. I guess I need to play Laurel more frequently to understand how cavalierly they handle such things.
