what happens if a horse in a flexi box trifecta is scratched but you still have 4 horses boxed?
957311
The TAB will exclude the scratched horse from the bet and re-calculate the cost of boxing the remaining 3 horses to get the same % return as originally bet, and provide a refund for the additional cost paid. So if you paid $24 to box 4 horses to get 100% of the trifecta, and 1 is scratched, then the recalculation will be a 3 horse box trifecta at 100% which costs $6 and a refund of $18.

Posted: 6/13/2006 3:13:04 PM ET\n \nBarbaro's cast changed; injured leg looks 'excellent'\n \nKentucky Derby (G1) winner Barbaro's cast was changed on Tuesday for the first time since his surgery on May 21 to repair multiple fractures in his right hind leg, suffered during the Preakness Stakes (G1) the previous day. \n \nDean Richardson, chief of surgery at the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, replaced the cast with Barbaro under general anesthesia and was pleased with how the colt is healing.\n\n"His leg looks excellent," Richardson said. "The incision has healed well and judging by the radiographs, the graft is opacifying (taking). Callus is forming nicely, and all of the implants (plate and 27 screws) look unchanged." \n\nBarbaro came out of anesthesia in the facility's recovery pool, a process that went very smoothly, according to a press release.\n\nBarbaro remains in intensive care at the hospital.

Posted: 6/10/2006 9:14:18 PM\n\nBelmont aftermath: How the runners-up fared\n\n\nFollowing are comments from the trainers and jockeys of the 11 horses who finished behind Jazil in the 138th Belmont Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Belmont Race Course.\n\nBluegrass Cat, second; Sunriver, third\n\nTodd Pletcher, trainer: "We had a rough trip with Bluegrass Cat. He lost a lot of ground on the first turn. He never stopped trying. Sunriver had a good trip. He dug in and tried hard. He ran a big race. Fractions were about where I thought they would be. I know sometimes, the strategy on the first turn is to stay out in the middle of the track, but basically, every race has been won on the rail all day. So, it was kind of a strange tactic. If it were anyone besides me, I was rooting for Kiaran [like Pletcher, a former assistant to Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas]. He is one of my best friends, a great person, and I am very, very happy for him. I'm disappointed. There is no consolation in second for me."\n\nJohn Velazquez, jockey of Bluegrass Cat: "This race just goes to show you that it doesn't matter how old you are, if you have the horse and the patience, you can win. It cost me so much going so wide around the first turn. I was right on the other horse's heels, where I couldn't get him inside. I had two horses to think about – Jazil and Steppenwolfer. On the second turn, I dropped in and thought that when the other horses started coming to me, I would go. Jazil came to me much quicker than I thought he would. I was at the three-eighths pole and he was head and head with me. I got after him little by little. He fought the whole way and ran a huge race. "\n\nRafael Bejarano, jockey of Sunriver: "My horse broke good. I put him in good position early and he was comfortable. When I asked my horse, he ran really well, but Jazil had a lot of horse. The pace was okay. I was right behind the leaders. My horse fought hard. I was happy with his effort."\n\n \n\nSteppenwolfer, fourth\n\nDan Peitz, trainer Steppenwolfer: "I'm disappointed and that's all I can tell you. He didn't run the race I expected. When we turned down the backside, we were right where I thought we would be. By the time we got to the half-mile pole, I didn't think we had a horse beat. I didn't understand that at all. He (jockey Robby Albarado) said he had horses in front of him." \n\nRobby Albarado, jockey: "I really liked my horse coming in, especially the way he had been training. He put in his patented run in there, it just wasn't good enough today. Jazil got there a little earlier than expected, since everyone thought he would be flying late. That was the only surprise – how quickly he got up there. I was about where I figured I would be, but they just sprinted out away from me."       \n\n \n\nOh So Awesome, fifth\n\nJimmy Jerkens, trainer: "I don't know what happened to him. He never showed any sign before of breaking through the gate like that."\n\n \n\nHemingway's Key, sixth\n\nNick Zito, trainer Hemingway's Key: "He was following the winner. He had just a little bit of difficulty there. He was moving with the winner. That would have been sweet. He ran sixth. He's a cool horse."\n\nJeremy Rose, jockey: "I was having a good trip. I got stopped a little on the turn. Before that, he was right there with the winner." \n\n \n\nPlatinum Couple, seventh\n\nJose Espinoza, jockey: "He broke really good. We had beautiful position. He made a huge move from the three-eighths pole to the eighth pole, and then he got tired. The winner was much the best and he obviously liked the distance."\n\n \n\nBob and John, eighth\n\nBob Baffert, trainer: "I thought my best chance was to steal the race. I didn't think anyone would want the lead. But that didn't work out. No one was going to let me do that. I told Garrett (Gomez) to le

Assuming you're the horse that's running, I have good news and bad news:\n\nThe bad news....You'd come in dead last :(\n\nThe good news....You'd come in first :)

They do not always kill injured racehorses.  It all depends on the owners, and whether or not it would be worth more to keep them alive or not.  Look at Barbaro, they are trying to salvage him for stud by fusing the joints in his ankle.  And I personally have seen a few other race horses that were injured but not put down.  Some people donate their horses to retirement foundations, such as the Standardbred Retirement Foundation.  These horses are then taken care of and put up for adoption, to which there is a lengthy process because they screen every applicant to make sure the horse is getting the best care.

It is the same as a trifecta.\nPick the first three finishers in the correct order to win this bet.

communicate to the horse w/ ur leg pressure. basically u want ur horse to not only respond to clicks & reins, but also the amount of pressure ur legs r giving the horse to speed it up (in ur case)

If the winner of the Kentucky Derby closes in the last 1/4 mile, yes. there could be a Triple Crown winner-i.e., Steppehwolfer-if the winner of the Kentucky Derby is a front runner-Lawyer Ron (sire=Langfuhr)-it would be very doubtful.\n\nThere is too much pressure on the horses in the Grade 1 racing program and most breeding farms are breeding for speed, not stamina. If Point Determined lays off of the pace and is in contention at the top of the stretch, his breeding and racing background, including blood lines, may allow Point Determined to be a powerful force in the Belmont stakes 1 1/2 mile.\n\nHow the race is run, who wins, and fresh horses being thrown against Kentucky Derby winners are all important factors.\n\nWe'll all get a better picture as to whether or not there will be a Triple Crown champion after the Kentucky Derby. Watch the breeding-pedigree-of the winner of the Kentucky Derby and keep this question posted until the second week in May for better answers...

No, the tracks should switch to the Poly or Cushioned Tracks as it is called. That type of track was just installed at Hollywood Park at the cost of $8 Million dollars for the sake of the racing horse, and it is at Keeneland also. \nThe owners of the racing horses treat them as well as you would treat a child, the Phipps Family who owned  Pine Island refused to be interviewed by ESPN because of the devastating way they felt, they had just lost a family member.\nMy avatar is of Pine Island, a tribute to a great filly.

If three different handicappers list a horse as a winner, bet that horse to show.

I guess it depends on the speed of the horse.  If you are trotting, then you will need to learn how to move with the horse.

Depends on the horses you are betting, silly.

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

I wouldn't play around with a one week old colt. Because a horse does not have any muscle behind his cannon bone, the bone from the knee cap down to the front part of the fetlock area, the frog acts as the pump.\n\nAny damage to that frog can effect the overall health and future performance of the horse. Check with a farrier or an equine veterinarian, asap.\n\nAsk about the proper application of Epsom salt and ichthemal. Iodine sprayed on the area can work as a preventive measure, but, once infected and how deep the thrush has infected the hoof, may demand a more aggressive and direct approach in a week old colt.

have the horse go really fast.  Faster than the others and cross the finish line first.
