Do they not like each other?

 
    Purse money is really bonus money. The trainers are getting training bills . And these horses are the exception...most horses are making a fortune.

And people still believe they don’t make money thru the window
[/quote       You can not believe with the size of the pools  and elite doing all the gambling that horsemen are beating the pools,    Very few horsemen ever beat the pools and 3 dollar shots just dont do it and today that is the game at stiff them at large odds and get the money at 2-5,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Horsemen are morons and drivers drive for a fifth place finish at huge odds.

I am neither a horseman or an experienced owner...just an old guy who has watched a lot of races

I don't think this is a dumb thread...there was no way it was close to a DQ if that is what you are referring to

filly was steppy in the warm up and half the length of the stretch--then clearly broke stride and ran the 25 yards(is what I saw)

of course she wasn't lapped on and it wasn't close to a DQ--but the question asked is "should they have flashed the inquiry sign"--the answer is yes and they did not--and I will agree it took a bit longer than usual to make it official

if that slight delay is interpreted as "looking at it"..that's ok with me--then the inquiry sign should have been flashed--showing everyone that they indeed did look at it--instead they delayed the official sign for a minute or two, leaving it ambiguous as to whether they actually looked at it

compared to most of the threads we see here--this was a legit one
