well i finally did it

[Taylorandtaryn]

after thousands of races I finally entered a stakes horse in a cheap claimer. Shairewinscontestoo is in a 6k claimer. With him already in the classic finals this was an error. Someone or more already have a claim in or I would scratch. So everyone should put in a claim think he is worth the 6k. If the winner wants to sell back I will buy him back but if not good luck in the finals.

I hope you get your horse back . Who ever claim her if you sell back to Eddie we will give you 3 breeding codes . Good Luck

[Lone Star Stables]

Brian and I are going to enter claims . If either of us win it we will give the entire site 1 breeding code . I hope you understand that we would do this for any of you who made a big error . Thanks

I put a claim in as well. I will sell back for cost plus your share of the purse money, which will then be redistributed to the others in the race as though yours was "disqualified". I know this was an honest flub, but redistribution of the purse in the event someone gets to keep their horse may help prevent shysters from getting bright ideas .

Lone put the claim in for me. I wasnt going to get invovled. But since I am if I win the shake I will geld the horse before returning lol

[Winning Ways]

Lol just watched the race,and who got the claim,lesson learned Eddie eh?

[Buddha Farms]

So Lone wins the shake? I think that tells a little story.

[Lone Star Stables]

Eddie The Horse is up with the winnings added to cost so I can pay the difference to Winning Ways .

I cant make Breed vouchers for the whole site , But will instead give two create codes to everyone .Good Luck

Am I missing something. This horse got beat by a create that has trouble winning a 3 K claimer.
Rating was 95. Hard to believe.
And to confound Lone wins the claim.
What is happening?

My ONLY issue with this is what defines an "error"? Let's say I put in a horse that's border line stakes into a 30k claimer to try and get a purse, and someone claims it. Can I say I didn't mean to put it there and the admins will claim it for me? Or say I meant to have it entered as a non-claimer?

I completely understand what happened and why everyone wanted to help. I just personally think it's a slippery slope having admin get involved in what is a very grey area as to what is, and is not, a mistake. I've lost many a horse, and I know everyone else has, to this mistake. But it is exactly that, a mistake. I'm worried a precedent could be set that is difficult to navigate and is now completely up to interpretation as to what is or is not an acceptable mistake.

The site has always policed these errors as a community. I don't think having admin get involved is a positive concept imo

It's called hidden morale... once that horse was put in a low claimer...wont stand a chance at winning...

[Lone Star Stables]

An error is when you put a horse worth 200-300k into a 6k claimer , It has happened a few times in the sites history . Smalls was the last time I remember it happening, Also Corn Beef Hash . I only had a 1/14 chance to win , but there are many stables that I know would have returned the horse to Eddie because he has always been helpful and honest to the site .

What were both horses meters? What were their jock instructions?

[Taylorandtaryn]

Look I was not trying to cause trouble. Lone can keep the horse if someone thinks something underhanded was going on. To the White Rabbit the horse has been on a down hill slide lately and that was the reason I was entering him in a race before the classic finals. Why he got beat guess he sucks. South Jersey I did make a mistake all I can figure is that I saw the 6000 and just assumed I had him on div setting where that would have been an Elite A division race. I was not trying to slip in a win with 4yr old stakes winning colt with pretty nice bloodlines. I never asked Lone to put in a claim and was prepared to make the new owner a nice profit along with 5 breeds once he was retired. Sorry to cause trouble.

What if it was worth 100? Or 50? 25? My point is that you're opening it up for people to ask for the same favor and you will have to pick a finite point/value/claim to say no to, and that will be difficult.

And yes there's no doubt people would have returned it. Again, no problem with where your heart is there and the intention to help. I'm just saying I worry it opens it up to a very grey area in the future is all.
