If this race was in Canada, you would have gotten your money back. Here in the United States, you get the shaft. Doesn't it make you want to give up the horses?<br /><br />Years ago when they modified the recall rule, they didn't want to institute a fair start rule because tracks and horsemen didn't want to refund the money if the horse was scratched. So instead they just shaft the betting public.<br /><br />In NJ, one such petition on the fair start rule was considered and it was then decided it neeed to be modified some more. Well, when it comes to this type of rule, they move shall we say, slow? <br /><br />If you go to the search bar and look up Fair Start Rule you will see a slew of columns I wrote on this.<br /><br />At this time, all i can suggest is sending an email to the NJRC on their website and voice your opinion on this matter. Maybe if enough people complain, they will move faster. <br /><br />The link for this is at: http://www.nj.gov/oag/racing/contact.htmlThat Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-83473432993826647042012-02-27T10:55:17.863-05:002012-02-27T10:55:17.863-05:00If you have a chance, please take a look at the 3r...If you have a chance, please take a look at the 3rd race at M1 on Feb 25; specifically the #1 horse (who happened to adorn both halves of my exacta play). I have followed your blogs that intelligently detail what's right and what's wrong with harness racing along with what needs to be done to grow the sport.<br /><br />Don't you think that something might have been done to scratch this horse? Something doesn't seem right.<br /><br />I felt like I was having a Life at Ten moment...Jim H.noreply@blogger.com
