Aqueduct race 2
« on: October 17, 2024, 02:06:56 PM »
Can someone explain why the 2nd place finisher was disqualified ?
He was declared a non starter. I thought I heard the announcer say he was interfered with at the start. So if he’s the victim of a foul then why take him down ?
The disqualification cut the field down to 4 runners and that canceled show wagering.  The 3rd place horse had over $100,000 in show money. The refund saved the track whatever the show loss would be as well.

The horse was not disqualified, he was declared a non-starter because the assistant starter had a hold on him when the gate opened. The stewards had no choice to say that he was a non-starter.  Got a tough trip, and still ran a nice race to finish ahead of the 1-9 shot who ran third.  Tough break for the owner and anyone who bet the horse to place or in the gimmicks.

The assistant starter was still holding the horse when the gate opened--he was declared a non starter because he did not receive a fair start

if he wins he is considered a starter--those are the New York rules
