this rant centers on today's Ky Oaks,and the brazen attempt of John Velasquez
to have the winning horse, Monomy Girl dq'd for a slight brushing event
in mid stretch.
The insanity of listening to this Jock claiming he had a real chance of winning
the race was correctly denied by the stewards. Check the race replay if you
question this statement.
Anyone owning horses or watching races on a consistent basis is aware
there are major bumping incidents occuring when the gate opens,which stewards generally overlook, unless the winner dramtically affected any
on the placing horses after severly bumping one or more of his opponents.
Neverthe less , the stewards took a long time reviewing the replays to
reflect their concerns; I'm chucling as Gary Barber, owner of
JV's mount, couldn't even stand near him as John was interviewed.
Not for nothing, were I a steward, I'd fine this Jock and his owner for
making a claim that had zero merit in a major stakes race.
