re: Any horse racing fans up?

You don’t know before. Most trainers have a spotter in the paddock looking for any obvious issues. They call back to the racing office to let the trainer know whether to drop on a horse or not. Has to be done before the race. If more than one person puts in a claim they “shake” for it and draw the winning trainer.

Sorry if already answered. Will go back and read.

Betting public and owners don’t know til after the race.

I can’t believe I missed a racing thread y’all just showed why I’m not allowed to have tvg. I’ll stay up all night watching.
