Amen on deleting the Clown's self analysis.

It is really too bad that we continue to see scratches ruin competitive and bettable races. So Scrappy T is "not quite right", but will be OK in a week or two. Should we expect the inevitable announcement next that Scrappy T will be retired to stud, "for his own good. We couldn't take a risk on injuring him, but he will be a GREAT SIRE".

The race went from having a solid favorite, with viable alternatives in the 3-1 range of High Limit and Sun King. Now, you get co 2-1 or 9-5 on those two and you either skip the race or dig deeper and look for Golden Man to bounce back at maybe 5-1, if you are lucky.

Look at the last two days of Belmont racing, if you want to see scratches ruining the bettablility of racing, which does hurt the sport, even though noboby really cares about the gamblers. 2 four horse races today at Belmont and short fields all day yesterday, culminating with a $56 pick-4 and $57 pick-6.

They cancelled Colonial Downs racing after the 3rd race today, I really hope the weather doesn't ruin a great card tomorrow.
