I'll find out if they're looking into it....but actually in this case I assume it's true.

I do look forward to betting against White Tie at 2:5 next time. I didn't like how he hung late in the race.

HUNG LATE? YOUR SERIOUS! First time out, the horse is cut off, loses 3 to 4 lengths and then comes on in the stretch and loses by a length and change. Forget about hanging late. The horse just showed you, first time out what kind of heart he was. You are right, at 2/5 it is no bet. But to bet against him? Well that is just plain foolish. All due respect.

He ran OK. He had some trouble and was probably best. You obviously have a personal involvement with this horse because of the trainer and your judgement on a lot of matters involving him is severely clouded.

You should watch the race a couple more times. A lot of things went well for him.

Four posibilities {1} The jockey never made a claim of foul. which we are led to think did hapen.{2} No outrider available. {3}the outrider wouldnt accept the claim. {4} the steward wouldnt accept the claim. Why wouldnt the track investigate this? If the jockey is making a false claim make him the scapegoat otherwise its all on the track. If the objection was at least flashed up on the board I could accept what happened. Is this just another way of telling the bettors we owe you nothing.
