Sunday, December 19, Oaklawn’s 5th race: Result: 3… 11… 1… 4…

The 4 claims foul against the 3 in the stretch and also, the stewards put up the inquiry sign.

The track video shows the saddle numbers with indications of the inquiry and jock’s objection.

BUT DOES OAKLAWN SHOW THE REPLAY TO THE PUBLIC IN REAL TIME AS THE STEWARDS LOOK AT IT? No! Incredible! What an outrage! But wait. There’s more!

After the race is official, Oaklawn plays back the replay as tracks usually do. Finally an opportunity for players to see what happened, right? Wrong!

Oaklawn indeed finally played back the race… BUT CUT OUT THE FEW SECONDS OF THE VIDEO WHERE THE ALLEGED INFRACTION AND INQUIRY TOOK PLACE! OAKLAWN SIMPLY CUT IT OUT, “DISSOLVING” FROM EARLY IN THE STRETCH TILL THE VERY END NEAR THE FINISH LINE! Oaklawn was too afraid to show the entire race!

I had no bet in the race. And I could care less about the finish. But this was the most outrageous thing I’ve seen in a while.
