Gulfstream Park west, also known as Calder park raced its last horse race. Churchill downs is tearing it down for jai alai to keep the casino.

Man what a race.  Medina Spirit gate to wire.  All heart on that horse.  Perfect trip.  And two of the favorites knocking each other out early helped.

Horse racing is the only sport where you can hear the announcer use the amounts “two-fifths” and “three-fifths.”

Plus I wanted to break up GBs monopoly of this thread.

I had faith in Medina Spirit and Baffert.  Not a bad hit yesterday.

"The racetrack later announced that if the findings are upheld by a split sample test, Medina Spirit will be disqualified and runner-up Mandaloun will be declared the winner."

oh boy. if you won money on the race, do you have to give it back? how would the track collect it? and if you had bet on Mandaloun, could you collect money on that bet if you still have the ticket?

[Adam]

that only applies to records and purses. the horse players won or lost already. Though you will see lawsuits filed. 

I know a dude in NJ who would have won $50K if the 7 would have won. He's set-up a email address for others to join in a class action
