The only reason it didn't surprise me was because I knew about it before it happened, before he was entered, etc. However, when I heard about it -- I was talking with one of the principals involved -- I was surprised. The topic came up and this person said the horse was going to race, but he wouldn't be able to race in a claiming race until the matter was settled or decided. Without too many details, I don't know if this was agreed to or needed to be agreed to by both parties. The case has been ongoing and progress (or regress for that matter, LOL) could have occured in the past two weeks.

A decision could have been handed down or the case could have been settled as my discussions with people involved was during closing week of the Spa. I didn't want to ask too many questions.
