Here I thought that this was all about consistency.

How stupid of me not to realize it is all about the lack of takedowns in the last race, which I never realized the bias here, and stewards in a rush to get to their great parking spots, regardless if they are reserved because they get the good ones when they get their free lunch, because they don't get overtime, college professors who take bribes, screw and deal drugs to their students, cheat on their wives and taxes, tenure and **itting their pants.

How could I miss that?

The origins of this thread concerned the inquires into the 11th and 12th races at Gulfstream Park and as to why what some people saw as the same infraction it was cause for a disqualification in the 11th and not in the 12th, which was the last race of the card.

My comments referred to that and not the two pages of recycling of the same posts over and over.

a) there are much less chance of an inquiry on the last race of a card than any of the others

b) if there is an inquiry, it is more likely to be disallowed than in the other races.

c) both inquiries and objections are resolved for the most part much more quickly on the final race than the others on the card.

d) judges who have sway of what happens to millions of dollars in some rare case but tens of thousands of dollars multiple times a day effectively have no supervision, not unlike the supreme court (appointed for life) and teachers (tenure)

e) my opinion as to why there are less actions and quickerly resolved actions involving the judges specifically on the last race which in this case was the 12th at Gulfstream Park on the day in question

thank you for allowing me the chance to recycle my post
