Giss, I noticed that #9 NF Gallivant in the thirteenth race was scratched because it was "late for detention". I was not aware that Northfield placed horses in detention, particularly NW600. Under what conditions are horses placed in detention?
Thanks in advance.

He was late to the paddock. Not detention.

He was probably late because he had to stop for his vitamins.

The wonderful new USTA system does not allow for a scratched Judges- late for paddock. So PJ Teeters used late for detention.

He was probably late because he had to stop for his vitamins. He was late because on Tuesday night during Jug week it is hard to line up help......so when you have a couple people trying to race four or five horses and post times ranging from 20 minutes apart to 10 minutes apart it is easy to frazzled. A weeks worth of work and a $100 fine......when $100 means something............is not something to be taken lightly. Just giving the horsemen's perspective.
