really? last i saw, they ruled against intercontinental-maybe i missed an appeal or something.

and late is late, no excuses. i think the bigger offense was the vet lying, not the late injection.

just looked it up--they said the horse should have been scratched, but decided she didn't get an edge over her competition due to the late injection. order of finish stayed the same, but the vet was fined $750.
