Why late scratching?

{deep sigh} ..... methinks Killua Castle in trouble if tactics not changed ... when they get away up front nobody gets close : ...expect Striker to race very handy on Uncle Tommy.

Anyone know the reason why Furious was scratched? Was looking froward to a BIG payday so have to wait now ...

Does anyone know what the official deduction of Furious Dancer was?

I THINK Nico mentioned 20% - 5/1 at time of scratching for being lame - rather no run than doing our money in cold blood (tu)

Uncle Tommy needs cover and almost to be switched off...if you remember the interview when UT won last time out beating Crown Heights, he said his instructions to SM were to totally switch UT off and even if it looks like he needs to be push now he must just wait until the final furlong and wait for the kick. Could end up being a big result here based on the going not suiting KC, aswell as UT style of running.
Boy Oh Boy would i like a roughy in this race

Hwood says 10% Shrek

No idea Loopy but to be honest, I find it incredible how many horses make it to the stalls and are then scratched, surely they can find a system that prevents this. Messes up everyones bets. I did bets I would never have done, just on the off chance and they all become losers, which they have to, I understand that but tis infuriating, a waste of money

I need KC to win and UT to place so I do not want upsets here ....
