What does a horse have to do to get scratched at the gate? If i ever wanted one to be scratched that was it.

wac, i know you were looking forward to that race...i was too -- however i would have never taken him at the odds he went off at, what? around 3-1?
Having run poorly on the turf his only try, and his maiden breaker on the Turfway poly, he is still a question mark on turf. I figured he would be more overlooked -- but I would bet that many serious handicappers saw what we saw his last out and tabbed him for this trip, depressing his odds.
sorry to hear he lost, and sorry to hear you lost your money -- could you have cancelled the ticket?
