New way to lose.
Entry finishes 1st and 2nd. Objection on the 2nd place finisher and both come down.........Never lost this way before. Have you?

Cost me the pick three as I didn't go four deep only three. Rule says that when one is DQ'd the other is also, and I'd dang sure be discussing the reason for the ride with the rider of the runner that caused the interference. We were just cancelling the rest of our card and I was busy with that and didn't see the replay. I saw the 1A win and expected to cash a Pick three and was surprised when SAM told me ticket was not a winner.

I think that's a great rule, properly applied. How much fairer could that have been? Hats off to Retama.

In reading the charts, seems that BOTH of the entry "bore in" and caused the 6 and 7 to be put in tight quarters. I thought it was just the 1 part of the entry, but apparently both of them were a little ornery.
