how can a horse be scratched and yet race for purse money?

At Gulfstream No. 5 race, the No. 2 was scratched for parimutuel purposes but allowed to run for purse money. Now what happens if that horse interferes with a horse I got money on? Never heard of this.

???  He would never be placed for parimutuel purposes.  For purse purposes claim foul all you want.

you obviously don't watch a lot of races

in NY--the still have coupled wagering(1 &1A)--if one of them is a gate scratch-the other one is allowed to run for purse money only

this happens many times throughout the year

  • SwankToliverA: You're right Rainman, much more than Politics in life. Politics should not end friendships or any relationship really. Most ppl believe what they believe and their minds can't be persuaded. Imho

  • rainman2: yes---as i said earlier  more important things than political differences.  betting and owning horses among other things.  many other people in the world have gone through the same exact thing.  people have to learn from these experiences instead of harboring ill-will from them.  The world is screwed up because of thes things.
