1.) Isn't there someone who reads either the chip or the tattoo to verify that there is not a "ringer" racing? (much less the right gait, sex etc.)
2.) Did Kakaly not know he was in a trotting race?
3.) What does this say about Erv Miller and who he sends out to paddock his horses?
4.) Did the starter not notice?
5.) What an amazing and embarrassing cock-up.
Definitely does not engender trust on the part of the public. From the replay it is difficult to tell his rigging, but was he pacing free-legged?
Totally inexcusable and should be the headline in HRU and DRF coverage, but doubt they will even mention it.
