They pretty much were. Tyler got a pass because he is white and the brown jockey was demonized. People wanted him banned from the sport for riding while brown.

Tyler continues to get away with it...

He was accused of basically everything, but then again he doesn't have white privilege.

Are you suggesting that we shouldn't accuse jockeys and horses of trying to kill each other during the race?

Is that a new rule, because it sure wasn't around earlier this year.

That is because all anybody in the industry does is say they aren't evil horse killers. If you get accused of something like abusing animals it's not enough to say 'No, I don't'.

I never hear...

Tyler Gaffe and War of Will almost caused a disaster in the Kentucky Derby and they were back up to their dangerous tricks in the BC Classic. This time a horse lost it's life. Next time it may be six...

Who is going to adopt all of these horses if they shut down racing, rodeos and equine events? Where do these people think the horses are going to end up when there is no longer any use for them?

Eight Rings was in a good spot to win it, but after she tired the rest of the speed held up. I'm probably going to play some speed tomorrow based off that result.

They seemed way short to me given the odds of the horses that finished top 3.

I thought the exacta should have paid twice what it paid ($1=$488).

The trifecta only paid $3900 per $1. I would...

I hardly think 'Headless, hoofless racehorse found in WV landfill' is a better headline for the industry.

Maybe we should keep that custom on the dl.

OK, if you want to judge them by their last race, then why was Bellafina 2-1?

I believe as you believe. The figures and others possibly not believing what we believe let her go off at 3-1 in the Test which I thought was a bargain.

I hope others keep giving her low figures...

Sure, but only one horse gutted it out and WON.

His Derby was also a gutty effort. In the slop, repelled the best from several challengers and still crossed the wire first.

Maximum Security has only had one horse finish ahead of him this year.

Pretty impressive performance. Given the heat and the lengthy delay MS had to overcome a number of issues and still came out on top. Hard to argue for any other 3YO at this point.

I would also point to those accusations of 'prior misconduct' as evidence of prior bias by stewards. It's not like CD stewards are a shining example of diversity.

The suspension sentences and the Derby DQ itself are proof.

So 15 days for failing to control your horse if you have brown skin, but only 3 for careless riding if you are white.

Sounds legit.
