He has two workouts in the interim. Not sure the rules in NY, but I assume he was on the vet's list and one of those workouts was witnessed by the state vet.

Maybe its some sort of scam involving the chartcaller.

Enough for me. At 30-1, I'm loading up.

maybe an overzealous chart writer? maybe he was vanned off, or had some other difficulty.
i remember laffits last ride, when that horse did a flip--he got up, shook like a wet dog, and walked off the track.
