No question that Peace Rules should have come down, IMO. I had Saint Laim, so I am biased. But, also Corey Black on TVG was all over the race before the inquiry sign went up. There appears to be two fouls, on the clubhouse turn when PR was not clear when he cut over and down the stretch when Bailey switched stick hands. SL did appear to come back in contact with PR in the stretch after PR initiated contact. The head on was never shown so can't tell.
If the clubhouse turn cutoff by PR was not a foul, then SL should have come down, because he took out a couple of horses including Ten Most Wanted. Yet those gutless Stewards did nothing.
The Stewards in NO want Frankel and Bailey back for future races. They don't care about an upstart like Dutrow who has few stakes horses. If the situation had been reversed I think that they would have taken Dutrow down. Politics...another way to lose money at the track.
