Title: Hoosier race 6 3/27/25
Post by: Bitter Truth on March 27, 2025, 08:36:19 PM: First of all, didn't bet the race. Absolute joke. The 2 [Hochstetler trained] clearly jumped before the wire.
Sure appeared the one was lapped on. They left him up. You tell me.

"Lapped on hind quarter"
My guess is that tail or hind legs don't count.
