This is wrong...

So it seems to me they didn't change the rules they screwed the pooch when they first told them the conditions. Really how do you screw up on the HOY giving out the correct rules in the first place, that should have been checked in triplicate.
And it is also my understanding per the interviews about this since HDG had already committed to the Azeri they asked the FG to up the purse 50K. Of course they would agree, why wouldn't they.
Although I really don't understand why 5 lbs would make such a difference on the HOY but apparently it did.

The stakes schedule is announced months ago. The fact is that they are running that races as under allowance conditions which will allow the reining horse of the year to carry 116 and possibly get weight from others in the race is a joke. I hope they get 1 entry and have to decided if they will run a walk over or not. People like Porter and Jones begging for weight and then only running the horse 5 times a year is something that should bring scorn, not praise.
