Steering becomes a big issue with a slipped saddle.
Not feeling the explanation.

So if he made up pure lies based on what happened then why would any trainer or owner ever want him riding for them? Why couldn’t it just be “ yeah I screwed up in the lane what can I say ?” The video is damning enough , the still photos to one that wouldn’t know show something different happening. To me it looks like Sonny would have fell off his horse if it wasn’t for HRC to help prop him back up. What makes things crazier is that nobody is challenging the fact that if Sonny stays in a straight path down the stretch he wins anyway. There was zero reason for Sonny to purposely navigate Rich Strike anywhere near HRC other then to cost himself the race. Just my opinion. In the minority I know.
