What they did at DelMar was totally avoidable and almost criminal. The 1 horse was scratched because apparently someone associated with the track screwed up and as a result they screwed a lot of horse players costing them a lot of money. Sure everyone understands the rules for horizontal wagers but my God this is not 1970 we have programmers Ann’s computers and when a horse is scratched there are fairer more equitable ways to handle such situations. For example refunds for live tickets or possibly have backup horses selected if one is scratched after sequence had started and not give someone a horse they have don’t want. But no racing continues to shoot themselves in the foot….when I first started to attend racing my friend had a saying about days at the track like yesterday …. “ l see it is f&$# the fan day today at the track.”
