Here is the order of Awards tonight - event starts at 7:30 pm ET: Order of Events I don't have the perfect answer to this matter, The sport has been tested often and still survives but maybe that fixed odds option is a wave of the future. Funny, an old-timer said to me not long ago that every sport has changed and not for the better - not atypical for someone to hold onto the past as we likely all do it or will as we age - but he said the one exception is horse racing. The handle generated from computers is likely large - larger than perhaps some will admit and maybe that is a reason for the lack of specifics from where handles derive - but as frustrating as that technology can be to old-school or more devoted bettors, that is something for tracks to face and hopefully integrate younger personnel in directing the sport's future without destroying what we love.

The Equibase chart stated that in upper stretch, his mount “was under a light drive in behind the top pair just off the inside, had the rider look to the outside, tipped out into a space three to four paths off the rail forcing Tartini (Giant's Causeway) to check between to pinching foes and Tommy Bee ( Medaglia d'Oro) who was attempting to angle in to the seam from the outside to pause and steady in behind and to the outside of Tartini…”Įyes On Target then rallied and was just up in the final few jumps to prevail. Irad Ortiz crossed the wire first but got disqualified aboard 1.45-1 favorite Eyes On Target (Exaggerator) in the seventh race July 27, a $25,000 claiming turf route. Both jockeys elected not to appeal their penalties. 9-11 that were imposed by the Saratoga Race Course stewards for separate infractions that involved winning rides last week.
