Frankly I think they could have been more expansive in their explanation.
But every Steward is different. Some old school types believe less is more in many cases.
As I said before. I would have voted for a DQ.
Now it's 2-2. I'll leave it to you guys to break the tie.
INQUIRY- NO CHANGE
The Stewards posted the inquiry following the sixth race to review two incidents; both involving
the same horse, #1 Pleasure Seeker (1st- V. Salazar). Pleasure Seeker began his adventure
shortly after the break when he drifted into the path of #2 Carlisle Champ (6th- A. Cervantes)
causing him to check. He then continued on his wayward path out requiring both #3 True
Freshman (4th- O. Peinado) and #4 Confusion (5th- H. Lopez) to steady. In a majority vote,
Steward Dreyer dissenting with a vote to disqualify Pleasure Seeker, the original order of finish
stood.

I would have liked to see the minutes disclose which incident was the one Steward Dreyer was dissenting on.
