To add to insult to injury, they told him they would have the hearing Sunday at 1p so he cancelled plans and then by 1:30p after asking what the hell was going on, they said they couldn't reach Carmouche in time so no hearing. He's enraged. And apparently now, the whole thing is supposedly getting kicked back to New York State to be handled. So what was the point of HISA if not to have centralized management of common rules? It's farcical.

Great word.

What happens to the purse money is this an ex post facto DQ is the money distributed to next in line. If that is the case shouldn't this count be done before making the race official so this asinine rule could at least be fair for the players whose horses get put up later. Then once the race is official that is it. No reviewing it 25 times later.
