![]() In the midst of an interview last evening with Horseplayers Association of North America president Jeff Platt, HRI learned that the second race at Penn National for Wednesday May 20 was declared a non-betting event when the betting pool didn't close until approximately 20 minutes after the race had been declared official.
The winning Twodoorsdown won the race at 10-1. The race, for $5,000 claimers going a a mile and 70 yards, was declared official and an announcement was made that prices were pending. While the prices were pending, the winner's odds dropped to 9-1, then 8-1, then, after the lengthy delay, the race was declared a non-wagering event and all wagers, including those properly placed, were refunded

![]() This whole episode is a disgrace. Does anyone on this site actually bet? How could so few care if they do?

I'm sure you've figured out by now that getting around all these annoying 'obstacles' is what makes the game so hard to beat/resist. Of course, just once it'd be nice to get final odds the same as start of race odds. |

Yes, I actually bet. I do care, but Penn National is so far off my radar, that I don't care. I wouldn't have known anything even happened there if not for you caring about it. I have a question for you. If I did care about what happens at Penn National, what do you suggest I do? Sharing my outrage on a horsey message board is not going to change a thing. |
