Watch Monticello's 4th race today. Coming to the half, you will see the 5 horse on the inside, and the 5 horse on the outside. Pretty amazing horse, I would guess, except for the fact that someone grabbed the wrong saddlepad, which is how this race ended up with two Number 5 horses. The 6 horse driven by Mike Merton had the wrong saddlepad (he leaves the gate and tucks 3rd). In fact, Oil thought there would be a recall, perhaps as one of the drivers noticed the mistake, but the starter sent them on their way.

UNREAL ,WAS ONE OF THE 5'S ACTUALLY IN THE NEXT RACE? NO INQUIREY?
-
No, I think the trainer or groom of the 6 grabbed a saddlepad from another race. As one of my friends just said, only at Monticello

THEY CHANGE SADDLE CLOTHES ALL THE TIME, THATS WHY PROGRAM AND REPLAYS DONT MATTER. UNLESS YOU ARE IN, YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHICH HORSES ARE ACTUALLY RACING. THEY HAVE NUMEROUS WAYS TO SETUP RACES, AND THIS WAS LIKELY ONE THEY SETUP AT THE DINER AND SOMEONE FORGOT WHAT WAS GOING ON.

Different process at Monty than anyplace else! The one whose doing the paddock often has to run around and find their number! Never should have happened of course, total carelessness but certainly no fix!

That is a first. So they post parade and Oil calls out the number , the horse and the owner, trainer and driver. They score down for 6-8 minutes or so. They go to the gate and nobody attempts to correct the error ?
I guess if it was going to happen anywhere, it was going to happen at Monticello.

I HAD A 5-5 EXACTA
-
Make them all the 5. Even I could hit it tmbz1
-
if the race finish was 5-5-1-2 and their was an inquirey with the 5 having to be paced would the result be 5-1-2 or 1-2. do they both have to come down?
-
My luck 5- 5 i would still lose 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻😝😝😝

I have Never ever heard of this happening before. Even the announcer called for a recall. Something was obviously noticed but they let it go. Obviously, no one is watching there. What in the world were the judges watching during the post parade. So they see two #5's in the post parade and do nothing. Comical but truly shameful. I guess no one cares. The best will be when the fines come out on the USTA. Curious who gets fined and for how much. Wonder if the judges get fined

As you said, I have never seen this blunder before. Now, if this happened at a Thoroughbred track say Saratoga, I could almost guarantee you the State Steward would be gone. I recall many years ago at Saratoga they reviewed a race and all three Stewards agreed and disqualified the wrong horse. All three were fired.
In racing, the Steward or Presiding Judge is the top dog. If it happens under his watch, he is responsible and must fall on his sword. But, in the world of C track harness racing, just another boo boo. On to the next race.
-
The fact that this mistake was obvious during the post parade and nothing was done to correct it is totally unacceptable. Laziness at its worse. Somebody needs to lose their job. There are a lot of unemployed people out there who would love to have a job like this.

There is zero oversight. These guys change saddle clothes and even substitute horses to cash tickets.
The day before, tuesday, john desimone lined up in wrong spot and was supposedly a recall but windows locked. They stayed on the gate open all the way around at a crawl. Another minute delay with windows locked. They went and between the quarter and half the odds still had dramatic changes. To top it off the horse who finished second was placed third for bumping a pylon. The dumb ass judges gave a slowmotion replay close up which was in direct conflict with the placing.
The woman answering phone said no one is watching in grandstand and more of them had the exacta the other way so Simmonds used his discretion and made them winners. Brian Berry is a no show for decades job gets extra envelopes to stay out of this stuff. Gaming commission is a bunch of cheats and partners with the crime syndicate.
