They dont deserve their money back. Every trainer worth a damn that claims horses knows how to find the nerved list. In many tracks it is posted right in the racing office. Why should a horse claimed in California be returned because of a rule in AZ?

The claiming game is tough. Tough noogies for them. Find another race!

the new owner needs to find a new trainer! what a mess on that guys part. and it stinks that some will read the headline that mandella is being sued, and take it at face value, and be critical of him in future--their thinking will be had mandella done nothing wrong, this guy wouldn't bring a case! and that's a shame.
