Eight late scratches today decimating the card because no one can count to 14 at NYRA?

I have never seen data to support this rule and when I looked for evidence of over racing in denigrated performances, I had to go out to 10 races in 90 days which happens extremely infrequently.

Didn't a horse win by 35 or something recently too basically forcing the rest of the field to "qualify" via workout?

Why license people if the state is going to usurp the decision making?
