Agree hopefully it will be looked at, continuing to dwell on it is a waste of time at this point, no one is giving us anymore money.

by divine intervention i had the 3 on my ticket
i was watching the race with Heels, and this was the sequence of events

mid-stretch i was 3700+ richer
the tax man was dialing my number

nearing the wire he started to hang up the phone

photo hits, i think my pk4 just went up in smokes, b/c also by divine intervention i didn't have alpha.

DH happens, woo i'll take 1700

payoffs, WTF

in a nutshell

the closer they got to the wire the more money i lost, and the horse i picked, technically, WON, ha

Its one thing to feel this way. TotAlly understand. It was a HORRIBLE BEAT. Its another thing for people to say robbery or that they were cheated. The rule is flawed, maybe it gets adressed?

Agree. Bad rule but we have to live with it. Anyone defending the rule as fair is simply an idiot looking for an argument.

I only had Alpha, so I only benefitted from the outcome. Still, this is my stance.
