You can all thank me!

Post by Paul Sellers »

For sucking at life so much.

From: The Steward - Wed May 06, 2009 2:00 am

Subject: Scratch Alert

I am sorry to inform you that your horse, Fast As She Can, was scratched from race #86772

Wow, apparently I just like sponsoring stakes races for other people.

Dang I am an idiot.

How did that happen? 1) The sponsored race isn't even full. and 2) I thought there was something in place preventing the sponsoring person's horse from being scratched.
I'm just here for the fun of it

It looks like the horse is still in transit.

Sorry, Paul. I'm sure that kind of thing is going to happen to all of us, if it hasn't already. (Auto ship helps a lot, but if you change your mind about where to race two or three days ahead, one might forget they need to ship.)

It happened because I wasn't smart enough to ship before the race.

You don't have autoshipping set? You do have SIMperior, right?
