Yeah, pretty much. They are both wrong and ineffective in policing the sport.

The trainer of the third-place finisher in the Grade 1 Madison Stakes on April 14 at Keeneland Racecourse has filed an appeal of a complaint that the second-place finisher should not have been allowed to start, according to Kentucky racing officials.


Joan Scott, the trainer of Dr. Zic who ran third in the Madison, first lodged the complaint shortly after race, claiming that the second-place finisher, Amen Hallelujah, should have been scratched because the horse’s trainer at the time of entry, Richard Dutrow, did not have a license. The appeal will be heard by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.
