They did not even post the inquiry. They waited for the objection. On Friday’s last race, half the field was affected by a horse coming over and they did not look at it. They took down Joel on Friday for absolutely no foul in the fifth. No contact whatsoever. The explanation was that Joel made the 11 go wide. Wtf is that. Here there was physical contact between the horses. On Sat, Irad created contact in the 2 yo feature. So if you physically hit another horse by taking your mount into him, you are ok. But if you don’t make contact, but make a horse go wide, you are coming down. BS product.
