I have a call into the racing commissioner. I can expect a call back tomorrow.

Calhoun, I agree, whether egregious or laziness, someone needs to be held responsible. I give every benefit of the doubt in racing BUT, the judges said they spoke to the driver J Roberts and he told them he never drove the horse before and expected to get the horse to pace when the gate moved. I know some horses occasionally do this, but never, at any point in the scoring did he show any desire to pace. So i call bullshit on that. Then when I saw onle 3 horses on gate, I felt there was scumbaggery going on at Rosecoft. No action from the vet, judges, nor the driver. On a horse that went off at 20 cents?

Also, should a presiding judge have local horsmen as Facebook friends?  Not getting a warm and fuzzy.

That should never happen. It sounds like a good betting opportunity for those paying attention.
Many years ago I spotted a favorite that looked lame...at the Meadowlands. I bet a fair amount against him. The starter called the field. There was a delay & a late scratch. In those days it was not easy to cancel tickets.

Yeah, I'm done with Rosecroft betting..If that's how their judges are officiating the races, I'll take my 2 bucks elsewhere. I have enough to worry about the drive I'm going to get now have to worry if the judges are watching the races I'm bet elsewhere.

I'm with you Kirby. You got to be out of your mind to bet this place.

What I will say is that I just got off the phone with Mike Hopkins, executive director for maryland racing.

Nice guy and he listened. He spoke to the judges and track vet as well.

Track vet insisted horse was not lame. Trainer insisted horse was not lame. Just bought the horse for 22k and the previous owner let Burton know he had issues scoring and getting to the gate. Judges insist that once he gets past the recall pole they will not call a recall, even if he is never on gate. That is ridiculous.

I asked him what do you think would happen if this was the Big M

I told him only 3 horses were on gait at the start and those were the numbers and one was over 20 to one the other over 40-1  Guess what the final outcome was. I said I expect the other drivers off the gate would be fined. He was going to check the replay.

I let him know I will advise those I know they should not bet Rosecroft.

In reality all, the game really does stink. Once LBJ is done I am going to focus exclusively on Thorobreds.
