Title: what's happening with Race 5 at Yonkers
Post by: arniesarmy on February 14, 2019, 08:40:36 PM

they were about to start, then Gingras was shown walking his bike to the paddock and his 6 horse was walking in front of him. Then they announced there would be a delay and none of the horses are on the track. Thought they were just going to scratch the 6. It's been five minutes or so and of course, no announcement.

well, they said the 8 was a judges scratch, and Gingras was walking his bike behind his 6 horse, to the paddock, and the outrider was heading in that direction, so maybe the 8 dropped dead in front of Gingras or something weird like that. But, yeah, explain WTF is going on.

I didn’t realize anyone still watched the merry go round named Yonkers.
