Worst call I've ever seen in harness racing !

[The Skipper]

Balmorals 2nd race Sunday ..... Travesty ! Everyone involved with that call should be in jail 

What a joke and the handle in IL keeps dropping, after watching this they should not be allowed to

have harness racing in this state. FYI I had NO WAGER in the race.

What happened?

What happened?

It's better to watch the replay but there was a entry and one part of the entry broke on the lead and did

not impede anyone and followed all the rules, the other half of the entry won easily but they DQ'ed him

saying that by the other horse breaking it improved his chance to win  unreal never seen it.

that horse breaking improved every horses chance WTF ?  F&*k IL racing, if the crooked thieves on

the track don't screw you then the stupid morons in the office screw you. I'll stick with betting

J Dauplaise on low priced horses at M1 at least I think you get a square shake for your money.

Never know what the illinios judges see. Have always believed they are the worst in the biz. Always take forever to make up their mind too.

not sure why a travesty..its not the first time an entry got taken down because 1/2 of it interfered with the field..with #1 breaking on lead causing the 2 to pull out and screw up Trot Fudge Sunday..its the bad part of betting an entry. I assume you are argueing  that the #1 should have only been placed behind Hot Fudge..their arguement would be #1 affected #2 who affected #4 so #1 had to be placed behind both even though the winning horse did nothing

BULLSHIT ! He broke and did not interfere with anyone ! he went to the inside and was out of the

way, they did not say he caused interference because he didn't. IL racing in general sucks !

I'm guessing you did not see the race if you think he interfered with anyone.

[The Skipper]

Now Tom Kelley writes a story that quick ? 

Watch the replay, I don't think anyone got impeded by the leader breaking, but wtf do I know ?

I have to see what knowsitall has to say about this 

[careless hal]

Watched replay and I have to agree with Mags.

[LVGaryD]

I didn't see any interference at all. Maybe the other views made it look different, I don't know. 

[The Skipper]

Watched replay and I have to agree with Mags.

Really ? WTF are you guys watching ? Taylor was about 3 lengths clear and broke and went inside,

Homer never moved one f%cking inch ! If that was the case whats right is right, but that was just not

right. Dom never said 1 thing about ANY interference but he did say the winner was placed 4th now

read the charts and it's a different story now because they know they robbed the people. 

[The Skipper]

I didn't see any interference at all. Maybe the other views made it look different, I don't know. 

Yes you are correct. I hope they played the whole reason on the replay you'll hear a different story than

what the charts show, it's just so sick IMO.

That is awful!!!! There is a reason ( Or many) That I don't bet Illinois racing anymore. Homer's horse didn't get affected at all. Didn't pull to the outside, the 4 just pulled outside of him and broke. 1 did nothing to affect that at all.  What a joke

[careless hal]

You guys much have been watching a different replay.  Just before the 1 broke, the 4 started to come out to pass the 2.  When the horse broke, the 2 was impeded causing him to back off a bit in turn causing the 4 to break.  Good call judges!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm sure glad you guys aren't judges.

[RocknRoll]

I'm with Mags and Hal on this one, definitely think they got the call right. The 1 breaking causes the 2 horse to take up which made the 4 run up the back of him and cause him to break.

This reminds me a lot of when Check Me Out broke and caused Maven to go offstride in the Hambo Oaks, we had a nice heated debate with the Skipper on that one too and I believe he was ready to bet all his winnings for the day there wouldn't be a dq.  Good times!

[Mags]

 I do agree that it was an overreaction by Homer on the 2 that
affected the #4 but I do feel #4 broke because of  Homers overreaction which was started by the break of #1. I could even see placing the #1 second as they really didnt affect Homers horse. Glad I had no money on the line.
