The jockey was interviewed after the race and didn't say anything about the starter.
Quote:
“He was just not behaving good in the gate,” Velazquez told NBC’s Kenny Rice after the race. “He was just not settling well. He caught me against the wall and the gate. When the doors opened, I was kind of up from the start. I kind of jumped sideways and I had my feet out of the irons. I lost my balance and went off.”

Why was this horse, a maiden, in this race? Especially after running 14th by 15 lengths in the Derby?
