They just DQ'd easy winner Sierra Alpha for 'interference' in today's 5th race, but i never got to see a DIRECT head on shot. Some cute side angles were shown, but nothing directly in front.

I mean, it LOOKED like there might have been some kind of interference, but if you don't see the direct head on, how can you tell?

They don't have a head on because the rail was moved out according to the guy on HRTV.

Horse was mugged while in a full run and was likely winner if there was no interference. Yeah, I had him. Stewards claimed, "insufficient evidence". They should not run a race if objections/inquiries cannot be validated.

I thought the later race where they did have sorta a head-on shot was as bad as the DQ. It cost the inside horse a better placing also. I just wish they would be consistant.

"Consistency" It all depends on who the trainer and owners are and it will never change.
