Yeah....sour grapes. I had Maximum Security as my back up win and in exotrics with the CH and Code under him for less.
I remember my first Derby in, probably, 1961 as a little kid. I think Carry Back was the winner. My dad was a big horse player, so we were Derby centric.
This means I have watched 59 consecutive Kentucky Derby's. NEVER have I seen anything as egregious as the steward's call today.
I saw an interview with her on TVG a few days ago and thought that she didn't have a clue. Guess I was right.
The reaction of the crowd at the track was utter shock. With 90% of them annual track goers, not regulars like us, even they couldn't believe it. How many of them holding $2 Max tickets were disappointed that they couldn't feel good about having picked the Kentucky Derby winner?
This stupid act, which flies in the face of attendees,owners, trainers and those of us who are passionate about the game.... let alone the betting public..... it is a major reason I got out of the game as a horse owner of 15 years. IT STINKS!
it is all about the tracks making money......Churchill, the 1% of the one per centers, and FU to the rest of us. I ask, do you want to know why horse racing is a dying sport? You can point to May 4, 2019 for one of the reasons.
