A no contest is usually called when half the field does not finish. To say that with 3/8 of a mile to go no one could have finished third or fourth anyway is foolish. Owners have a right to earn, not just bettors. The issue at hand is that Sam King has no business out there. The horse was 85/1, steppy the whole way, and was trying to fall down 100 yards before he actually did. Why King was advanced to an "A" is beyond me. He needs to be knocked down to a "Q" for at least 60 days, then probationary license until the end of the year.
