http://www.horseracegame.com For some reason I find oddities like this May 16, 2004 race very entertaining. The Hasta la Vista Handicap at Turf Paradise in Arizona is run at what today is an unusually long distance of 1 7/8 miles. This requires two full circuits of the course, rather than the usual one time around in most races. Unfortunately for jockey Jorge Carreno, he forgets that minor detail, creating a very unusual sitation. On a personal note, in the early 1980s, I recall Hall of Fame jockey Jorge Velasquez falling victim to the same mental lapse in the 2 1/4 mile Display Handicap at Aqueduct. My father and I got a big kick out of the fans watching the replay cheering "come on Georgie" the first time around, as he was furiously whipping and driving despite having a mile left to run.

As someone who GOES to this track and has since 1973 this was a honest mistake that can happen no need to use foul and degrading words.

to finish 5 th was a fair effort considering.i worked at the greyhounds and a few times,the guy closed the pen gate with a lap to go.pretty embarrassing.[if u dont know the pen g8 in australia blocks the track and feeds the dogs into a shute].
