Then this broad thinks she is going to bet on her; make money and then start a stable. The ignorance of this woman makes me sick. Then there is the fact that the stewards allowed the horse to pass the entry box, get in and then allow the horse to ship on the grounds with out question until now is ridiculous. Yes I feel bad that she spent money to ship the horse here only to get it scratched in the paddock and she should be reimbursed for it. I am sure that the stewards were only made aware of this situation when other people (ie other vets, trainers, etc) raised the issue.

Many people were talking about it before the paddock. The racing officals sent a person over to the "trainer" to ask her how long this horse had been in training.....her reply 30 days!! (and fromt he person that was sent to do this said the horse was not in any type of racing shape) Obviously someone dropped the ball on this because all the investigation should have taken place before the day of the race. I really do have to commend the action that many people in the racing industry took to bring the problem to light. I know for a fact that there were calls made to the racing officals from trainers, and vets. Of course by that time it sent the officals scrambling to find answers.

horse was away from racing nine years, had three works, and they allowed the entry. talk about dropping the ball. and this gal passed the trainers test?? how about a basic i.q. test?

The racing office should have questioned the entry before the race as drawn. But this was such an unusual scenario that i can see how it was not questioned especially since they had the three works posted. I dont think that TC has official clockers, turn your own works in.
