I think the players were treated unfairly because the stewards didn't even bother to blink that light. Why should we as players have to shrug our shoulders and move on to the next race. There is too much shoulder shrugging in racing, not enough accountability. Not at sales, not with owner trainer relations, nowhere in this game is there accountability and there should be.

The life at ten fiasco.....Players should have recieved their money back. I don't care if they send it a year from now, theres noway that horse should have ran. We have a trainer/jock/vet/stews system of check and balances and who is left holding the bag..... You and I, the guys who put it through the window. We accept this because its just racing? Things like that happen? Im sorry but thats total bullshit, stewards have a job to do and they need to do it or start flipping burgers.

I don't think this would have been a terrible DQ. In fact I think there should have been a DQ.

You think there should have been a DQ because you bet the 6. You're biased. It's understandable, but doesn't make it right.

You're right, as bettors we do take a lot of crap and it's not right. This is a bad example to use though. No one took anything on the chin here. The better horse won.
