We're not unreasonable, say stewards

They only want to eat your brains

Long time readers know this blog has often highlighted the CHRB's incompetence and lack of leadership. On Saturday the CHRB, as represented by the NorCal stewards, offered one more very small example of their inability to think critically.

If you recall, by Saturday Santa Anita had already cancelled racing on Monday the following week but had not officially cancelled Sunday yet. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew there was no way they could run on Sunday given the rain.

Many of those trainers with horses entered for Sunday at Santa Anita wished to enter those horses at Golden Gate Fields. The stewards would not allow them to do so because Santa Anita had not yet officially cancelled their racing program. Several horses that would have run at Golden Gate were thus turned away and may sit on the sidelines up to a month waiting for their condition to return, or worse yet, some will be shipped out of state for a spot in which to run.

This song reminds me of the stewards' only one way approach. Here are the Lyrics.
