Default The TAM stewards really need to get a clue

Today R5, the 9 comes out in the stretch and takes the path of the hanging 4. No problem with the DQ, in the general sense, even though it cost me the exacta and triple.

But here's why this type of run needs to be allowed at TAM. This happened just before the wire, on the portion of the turf course where there is NO RAIL, and, where the grass is cut in a circular (counterclockwise) manner. Typically, what happens at this point is that horses RUN OUT. It happens repeatedly on the turf course.

So, either GET A ****IN RAIL UP
AND
reshape the cut of the grass

OR

don't take horses down for coming out when the conditions are such that ALL of them run out.

So the stewards are supposed to cut the grass the way you want now too?

You really need to pay attention. The cut of the grass and the lack of a rail is inducing these horses to run out. I'm not making this **** up. There's enough proof in the replays to back this up.

Either shut the **** up and learn something OR stop wasting my time (which is the norm on this forum).
