Title: Oak Grove 6th race
Post by: PineHurstPacer on June 01, 2026, 05:03:54 PM
Tetrick wins and gets placed last (5th)

made a break on the gait, came back down trotting 10 lengths behind in the first turn

He comes down for not losing ground?  He lost 10 lengths in the first 1/8th mile...how much did he need to lose?

Who's the presiding judge at this hillbilly track?

When he first broke he galloped for more than 5 seconds and wasn't losing that much ground. They DQ'd him for an unrestrained run.

Total bullshit. Tetrick broke grabbed him behind all horses won the race. The judges are assholes and should be fired. Not that the race matters for me  but a horrible call. What else can you do if you break. You take back to last. If I’m owner of that horse I’d be standing right in front of the judges office

It was an awful call.  What should he have done. He did everything right. He broke took back to last stayed last til 3/4 pole won the race   Should he have just pulled up and drove back to the barn.  He did everything right period.

They should do like some of the tracks overseas. If you break, you are out. Takes it out of the judges hands.
