HR's newest bad boy.

I love how the powers to be have their dirty little fingers in everything.Racing secretaries who can't make the monthly vig.Trainers being suspended for life.Crooked jockeys with ties with bookmakers over the pond.Trainers being suspended for 20 years. Stewards can be owners. Announcers can be agents,stewards,owners all of the above.Non DQ's on a weekly basis. I know a board member at Hawthorne who hires and fires trainers on a monthly basis. Harness drivers who go in partners on P5 and Hi-5 tickets. This is getting to be fun to watch.Next time you see a inquiry/bogus call at Chucky Town just try to figure out who is holding what ticket.

"We found that the chief steward was working, building a barn, for a horseman," Amores said. "That was a violation of the conflict of interest policy the commission has, so we suspended him."

Charles Town continues to use the "HOLD" format on objections. Always watch your back when playing because someone may make a call.

"I just thought I was helping a family friend in a bad spot," said McKee at the Jan. 17 hearing, noting that Wehrman needed the money to pay rent. "I don't think I got any special consideration on stalls or starts because of the loan."

An ex Steward unable to pay his rent!!! And someone on this forum says that Stewards are not supposed to bet. LMAO!!!!

How bout the bogus call Jan 27 dq at Santa anita flew flicker that would have carried the pick6 but to payout the pick on site and advertise the 20%bonus on track they dq the real winner! You see decisions like that and wonder ya know. I would be going ballistic if I were the owner trainer of the 4 horse. Most you could claim from that replays was incidental contact at the worst . The decision process is a joke! When you have what they call a protest In Australia you go right onto the stewards room with the camera and get to hear the trainers and jockey make their claims for or against and watch the stewards make there decision with reasons given for justification of their decision, that's transparency! I've notice Gulfstream starting to adopt a practice that tv host in Australia do in that they have interviews with the trainers before the race give you useful info in terms of running strategy very important in handicapping in fact trainers must file a running strategy in advance of the race with the stewards and are penalized if they don't follow it now there's a racing body trying to look out for the bettors.

Exactly. Claimboxx reported on his trip notes that trainer Gary Stute flipped the bird at the Stewards and followed them to
their cars cursing them out.

In those same trip Notes, I also said I blamed Bisono for needlessly going to the left handed whip causing his horse to get out and cause interference. I do not think the Stewards made a good or a bad call in this case, I thought it was very difficult.

That may be the case but cameras or no cameras doesn't stop the constant 3 card Monty and the bamboozling of the bettor.
