Racehorse Mix-up Causes Big Mess in Ohio

This hasn't happened at Harrah's Louisiana Downs (if it has, they've kept it quiet).

Horse racing officials in Ohio have suspended three people after the longshot winner of a race turned out to be a he instead of a she.

The state's racing commission concluded there was no intentional wrongdoing by those who allowed the wrong horse to run under a different name at Hollywood Gaming's Mahoning Valley Race Course near Youngstown.

The horse that was supposed to race was a winless filly listed as a 110-1 longshot. Instead, a male from the same stable won by nearly eight lengths.

The commission's executive director says a stable worker brought the wrong horse out for the race in early November and another employee failed to properly check the horse before it ran.

The mix-up wasn't discovered until after the bets had been paid out.
