My guess is, especially in light of some of your diatribes, you would have felt differently.

Gee,
It happens when horses flip in the gate as well.
Late scratches are most often for the protection on the bettor.
This past summer I really got screwed on a Sunday afternoon because I singled Khaliah in a pik-4 I played early in the day and she ended up running as purse money only and Chili Cat became the designated runner and ran 3rd to Khalilah who won by a football field.
I understood why they did what they did and although angry about it, trulky felt like they did what was right for the bettors with the shoe situation on Khalilah.
I know this past summer at the Spa that awful late scratch which really screwed me(once again a Kiarin horse) when I got stuck with Yankee Master and watched carnera jog.
I guess what I am saying is that those pik-3, pik-4, pik-6 incidents happen all the time, and very rarely from the wrong horse being brought over.
When a rash occurrence of these incidents occur, I'd take them more seriously.
