Not updated on xpressbet as of yet and it's inside an hour and a half.  Are we sure this is a fact?

Not scratched yet either on my 2 ADW's, but they don't normally have the scratches until about 45 minutes prior to first race post time.

Yeah might be a little early to be listed.

In Northfields daily double possibilities, he's not scratched.

He's scratched on my betting app

you can still claim a scratched horse.  They have to bring him to track within 24hrs and you have the right to take or not to take.

Wondering if someone told this POS owner they can do better offering the horse up to a bail pen* and splitting the proceeds when Southwind gets bailed out for an exorbitant amount.

Poor horse is a perfect candidate to be taken advantage of by scumbags and lowlifes

I wonder if some will go get him.

Not in Ohio. Have to go behind gate to get claimed

Someone should have chipped him. May already be far gone. Hope not. Hopefully he was donated to a retirement home,

[hunglikeachandelier]

The owner was probably offered $6,000 on a private sale and decided to grab the guaranteed extra $1,000.

[JENNY FROM THE BLOCK]

He would be eligible to be claimed for 5k in his next start no matter what. But there won't be another start so he is staying where he is.

The reason he was scratched is listed as veterinarian.. injured.. per the usta entries and results page.

[Raging pace]

They always say injured, vets lie all the time. When I had horses and was in the last race #8 , I would tell my vet I ain’t driving a hour away , last race , 8 hole, scratch him sick or injured. This horse has been the talk alot lately. Don’t know what their plans are now to do with southwind Amazon but I can guarantee you, he is not injured.

Agree.
Vets can and will do some shady crap! Scratching him inured will sway a lot from putting in a claim as well, He's probably been sold, and new owner has him and old trainer/Owner don't have the horse to bring to track if hes claimed!
