Barry,
This from the Bloodhorse website and adding more to the mystery. Why is Trainer Todd Pletcher is being asked by NYRA to authenticate the final time of a race won by a horse he trains.
Your silence will only further implicate his involvement and guilt!
"We are reviewing it," New York Racing Association spokesman John Lee said. "So far, every test we've put it through the time came out to be accurate -- they correspond to the tele-timer.
"We checked with the hand timers in the clocker's stand, with individual timers and (winning trainer) Todd Pletcher, and their times checked out."
Lee said placing judge Steve Foster and other racing officials will review the race again Monday.
"We don't want to establish a major track record like this by mistake," NYRA chairman Steve Duncker told The Form.
