I'd have to agree. Just because they didn't get burned, doesn't mean it wasn't a big deal.

It is a big deal if it was done by someone trying to gain an advantage. Otherwise it is just an equipment malfunction. If you can show that the track had substandard or faulty equipment that would be an issue.

I think it's a big deal that it happenned period. It's an especially big deal if someone is using it to get an advantage.

It should never happen. Imagine seeing some wingnut cashing his ticket that you saw making the bet halfway through the race. Especially if he dropped 10k on it & brought your odds down.

Airplane shouldnt crash and boats should not sink but accidents happen. Of course it shouldnt happen but malfunctions are things that will happen, just as computers crashing will happen. What can you do?

Out of curiosity, how does the stop wagering mechanism work? Is it linked to the starter's gate button? If not, shouldn't it be?

Good question. I know growing up in Maine at the harness tracks the bell would never go off (shutting off betting) until horses were almost into the first turn. Huge advantage if you were betting trotters who had a propensity to break at the start
