4th at SA on Friday...No DQ?

nothing can beat Evaseline Downs win it comes to the Stewards. I had two 20-1 horses run 1-2 and the favorite was in a photo for place and he ran 3rd. They don't show anything for 10 minutes and the next thing you know they are putting the favorite in the winner's circle. Everyone around is laughing and carying on. Then they showed a bunch of replays from all angles. mostly head on so you can't tell then they finally show the photo. It was quick but me and my friends could clearly see the favorite ran 3rd in the photo. I was looking at $400 - 500 and these clowns stole it from me. I will never EVER play that carnyass track NEVER EVER !!!!!!!!!!

but to stay on topic I've seen the favorite at Hollywood ram my horse repeatedly down the stretch. Trying to knock him off his feat. it was incredible. Cost my horse the place money and they looked at it once and took no action. I guess it was because he was the favorite and my horse was a long shot around 25-1. They are trying to be popular instead of just.

I can't stay away from santa Anita the level of competition is too good. You can get some really nice payoffs as long as they don't cheat

There is no way that Trick a Cat should have stayed up.You are not mistaken.I thought sure they would take that horse down.The trainer on HRTV was very surprised that they didn't make a change.If I was terminal,I would take care of these people.If Conveyor's Angel did something wrong,then for sure this horse did.They don't have a leg to stand on now.They simply didn't want to take that even money down.Victor is beating that horse left handed,and he comes right over and takes this horse's path.Horse was full of run(unlike that tired Frankel horse they were so g d worried about on Wednesday.)Both times they went out of their way to hurt the connections of hi odd horses.I guarantee you,if they cost me good money in one of these subjective calls,I won't be the quiet victim that so many are being out here.That is not a call that could go either way.That horse kept Sorenson's horse from getting 2nd(bothered him 2x.)I was gunna start this thread,but sometimes you just get tired of talking.That time is over.Time for action.Somebody needs to step up and take action before these crooks do this again.

Yeah..I know this subject is kinda old...but I thought this situation had to be pointed out....what these criminals (stewards) are doing out there is horrendous.

I've always maintained DQs should be for purse money only, not betting results.

That is rather insane thinking.

What is so insane about it?

That could cause some very interesting race riding. Would be like a rodeo out there....

So are you telling me if a horse on the lead in the stretch comes out and completely takes out a charging closer he should be left up for betting purposes? Only Dq'd for purse money?

Thats insane
