Pat, if you paid any attention at all to Charles Town, you'd have noticed this trend over the last few months. Obviously you haven't.
Apparently, these pathetic disqualifications and the way the way the stewards are handling these races is in the name of safety.

I catch CT from time to time, but really don't play there, and have no issue with a bettor taking issue with DQ calls. The way you penned the post, it seems a non sequitur.
"The stewards were petty to begin with there -- and after a race at Charles Town earlier in the year when every single horse but one fell in a race -- they've become even more of a joke. By the way, the incident where every horse but one fell, had nothing at all to do with rough riding of any sort. A horse on the lead simply broke down and caused a chain reaction in a race that was unusually close to single-file in behind him."
