Saratoga Robbery

[pointman]

I have just been robbed by the Saratoga stewards. That is the worst DQ I have EVER seen in my life. There is no integrity left in this game when the stewards rob people like that.

Add to the fact that many horses are running so different pace wise than what their PP suggest. If they are trying to get us to say **** this already and quit the game they are doing an awesome job.

All the Saratoga stewards must be fired and indicted for what they just did. It is not a joke when you steal from people like that. I find it hard to believe that if the 1 was not 58-1 and the 3 was 2-1 that they would have done that. It may just drive me from the game since I no longer have confidence in the integrity of the game after seeing that. I am still in a state of shock.

I also had that horse in dime a day to make matters much worse.

Sick! They left horses up all meet who did way worse. The #1 came over but never touched the #3. The Stewards are crooks especially Carmine. He is the leader of the pack. Should have been no change

I thought this call was close but correct. I thought the call on the Pletcher 2nd time in this country turf horse yesterday was the really shitty call. Here is something from the Crist blog...

4:48 pm: Rank outsider 58-1 Coordinate outfinished 2-1 favorite Alexahente but properly did not survive a stewards' inquiry and a claim of foul and the order of finish was reversed. Coordinate clearly veered in and forced Alexahente to be taken up in deep stretch.

Coordinate, a Darley homebred by Hard Spun who was trounced in two dirt sprints at 49-1 and 46-1, went right to the front and forgot to stop. Alexahente, an Eddie Kenneally second-timer, was gaining at the rail when Coordinate cme over and cost him all momentum.

Durkin picked up on it right away as they crossed the finish line: "Coordinate is the winner -- well, at least under the wire first."

Trolling as you usually do. The call is 100% indefensible. Christ is full of it here and had an interest in the call on the pk6 ticket. The 1 barely touched the 3, that is if he did at all. Even so, the 1 was clearly better in the stretch and would have won regardless. We have seen much worse interference this meet that did not result in a DQ.

The call was criminal and it should be investigated.

Now go away troll.
