Where do you find the wagering options on something like that?

Got my answer. They gave her the post time favorite in the 3rd race because her mount scratched. Nothing in the rules that indicated that was the rule, but whatever.

Even in an event like this, the sport never ceases to amaze me. Sorry about your beat Phil.

LOL it was BS but whatever. Not enough to get worried about. I'm fine with it if that's the rule but they need to publish that to the players, because basically it's giving her a guaranteed 6 or 12 points. Matters to the girls, too- they get paid on placing.
