Ok I'm jumping the gun here, (only saw a breif replay), but that was a bad "3 blind Mice" call on Dave's record setting drive.
He went over the pylon.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Dave, but that judge's call is kind of symbolic with what's wrong with this sport.
§ 23 . If at a racetrack which does not have a continuous solid inside hub rail,
a horse or part of the horse’s sulky leaves the course by going inside the hub rail or
other demarcation which constitutes the inside limits of the course, the offending
horse shall be placed one or more positions where, in the opinion of the Judges,***
the action gave the horse an unfair advantage over other horses in the race, or the
action helped the horse improve its position in the race . In addition, when an act of
interference causes a horse or part of the horse’s sulky to cross the inside limits of
the course, and the horse is placed by the Judges, the offending horse shall be placed
behind the horse with which it interfered
