The Meadowlands - Wow!

[blackthroatedwind]

She clipped heels tonight, almost went down, and still jogged at an unbelievable 4:1.

The stewards apparently found it unbelievable as well. People complain about the NY Stewards but they would have dismissed that call in seconds.

No more NJ for me. Not worth it.

I took a girl on a date and later that evening she asked me to kiss her where it stinks. So I drove her to New Jersey and gave her a kiss.

I loved that horse and lost the W and the Exacta when she came down for ...uh...what did they take her down for...oh, exhaling on the competition. That's the worst DQ I've seen in YEARS.
I don't say that because it cost me. I've actually griped publicly about DQ's that moved me up, when I thought that they were ideiotic. This was bizarre. They put her LAST!!!!

At Laurel they stayed with the Meadowlands feed for 10-15 minutes while the track announcer eventually narrated the "foul" of the 11 and 3 by the 6 after watching the replay 10-15 times.....causing the 11 to check at that point in the race hardly enough to warrant the DQ. The 6 was much the best taking good money from my own BC fund tonight. Lezcano and his 40% win percentage suffered a correction....

To add to the conspiracy theory, the head on replay of the race now on calracing.com is heavily edited. Just the break, and the finish.

The regular replay shows the apparent clipping of heels while she was ahead of only about 3 of the 8 horses.

Not noted in the chart is that she did appear to cross over on one of the horses in the stretch.

My question is, what the heck was going on that 6 of the horses in the race were scratched?

It's odd to look at a race with 8 horses and see a #11 in the chart.

I watched at home online and viewed the "stewards" replay off their feed over and over. I saw the horse near the back get shoved into the rails and the grey take evasive action but for the life of me I figured that I was fine because neither of my horses were near that.
My friend was here and just as they started blinking the winner's number, our food delivery showed up. I went to the door to get the food and I heard her holler, "JESUS H!!!! They're blinking the winner!!!" I damn near dropped a large pepperoni on the poor kid. Unreal.

I don't bet NJ alot, I think I may start to bet less...

Andy, I had the misfortune of actually being at "The Big M" last night and was flabergasted by the take down. I watched the replay probably about 10 - 15 times and could not figure out what the 6 had done. It was an unfathomable take down and I think NJSEA racing lost the two of us as customers tonight. Not that I'm a big loss as I only the the races in NJ on one or two days a year but no more when you get calls like that.

It is so painful to live in NJ and be a horse racing fan, with the only legal agering alternative being NJBets, it is disgraceful that our corrupt double dipping politicians are letting the game slip away in this state. On the bright side it is only a little over an hour to the BIG A.
