I wanted California C to win...it had all the makings of a Seabiscuit story....but I’m sorry to hear the owner didn’t keep his mouth shut.
Even so, in a way he has a point. A ball team has to play the season, not just the last games. But the rules allow for what they did, fair or not.
There is no “season”, this is not ball.
They are 3 distinct and separate events.
You can’t compare a ball game to a horse race. A horse race is a race. A ball game is a sport in which teams are playing at bats and on the field through 9 or more innings. You have 9 players on the field. The object of the game is to out-pitch, out-bat, outperform and outscore the opposing team. In horse racing, you have a jockey and a racehorse. Whoever crosses the finish line first in each race wins.
Apples and oranges, my friend.
I agree Aria (17)
But C C finished fourth.
How many of the three ‘money’ horses did or did not enter the first two ‘jewels’?
