Emigh didn't seem upset at all afterwards, fwiw.

I understand how it looks bad, but does flashing the inquiry sign, chatting for 15 seconds and saying "it didn't cause anything at all to change," which we all knew just from watching it live, and taking the inquiry sign down accomplish anything either?

What the hell was the 350yd race in the middle of the card for? Don't think I've ever seen that before at Hawthorne.
