This made the pick 6 carryover which was a financial boon to NYRA. Consensus was that it was brutally bad, especially since an egregious foul had no resulted in any action a couple of races earlier.
Yesterday Churchill Downs came up with a ridiculously bad double DQ to place the third hoss first ,making the single winner pick 6 carryover. They are trying to make it proceed, unhit, toward a forced payout tomorrow. When these forced payouts happen. The handle is huge and very profitable for the track.
How can the 2 worst DQ’s of the year BOTH have the same outcomes....carryovers where there shouldn’t be carryovers ? If you had the winning ticket for $317 K, what would you think ?

Are you board?
