Albahr was kicking wildly while he was down, so I'm not surprised that the #1 took damage. I'm worried about the #3 as well, because he didn't get backed out until after Albahr had started kicking. Terrible luck that both Godolphin runners fell victim to this.
And maybe Albahr shouldn't be blindfolded again. I can't help but remember Quality Road's complete panic when the starter crew got impatient and decided to blindfold him, just because he was being a little stubborn.

This horse should scratch. In arbitration they side with the possible negative outcome? Yikes
This is the first live racing I have watched sine May and the unprofressionalism is.... interesting.

I don't even know anymore. He's still available in the pools on betting sites!Modern Renaissance wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 8:43 pmThis horse should scratch. In arbitration they side with the possible negative outcome? Yikes.
Oh, now they are saying he's purse money only. Going to be a huge shitshow if he wins this.

So WHY is Modern Games running for purse money only? IIRC, he wasn't coupled with Albahr.
Oh...money had already started being refunded on Modern Games.
What a c*********k.

They accidentally scratched him (I guess? Even though he was available to bet on the whole time?) and legally can't put him back in the pool. Apparently?BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 8:45 pm So WHY is Modern Games running for purse money only? IIRC, he wasn't coupled with Albahr.

I caught a quick look at Albahr being walked back, and I thought there was blood on top of one front foot.

LMAO and the Breeders Cup gets what it deserved.
Who got second, how screwed did I get? EDIT: Tiz the Bomb, so that's a relief I guess. Still got screwed, but can't ever be surprised by getting screwed over as a bettor in this game.
