Fla Derby, jock couldn't claim foul?
According to Rick Violette, his jock was going to claim foul, but the judges made the race official and "Ran to the elevator".
I guess nobody was alive to the winner in the Pick 6 for a million + bucks.

I expected that an inquiry or objection would be posted because Materiality bore out and gained some distance. The "official" sign did go up faster than any time that I've seen.
All #s were covered in the Rainbow P6. No conspiracy on that count.

Who are the stewards at Gulfstream? My initial searches come up empty.

Is there a view that shows clearly a reason to claim foul .?
From the replay there appears to be slight move to the right by
Materiality in the late stretch run . It also appears he straightened away
quickly . He clearly wins and apparently does not seem to cause Upstart
to lose any chance of catching him .

No change
I don't think there was any possibility of the winner coming down.
However, the rider has the right to lodge an objection,
and it needed to be heard.
Probably poor communication between the outrider and jockey.
Nothing more.
Why the big rush to make races official, though?
Get as much tote money back into circulation quickly on a big race day?
I've never understood this.
Waiting a few minutes to go official is no big deal.
Who's to say a rider didn't carry 10 lbs less than he should have
if you don't wait for him to step on the scales?
It just leaves the game more vulnerable for accusations of cheating.
Similar to locking out betting at zero minutes to post, which would
take care of much of the late odds fluctuations while races are running.
These are problems in the sport that are easily remedied.

I was kind of shocked at such a quick "official", especially given how they DQ'd Upstart in the FOY and a lot of people thought that DQ was bogus. You would think they would take a really good look and hear what the jockeys had to say this time even if they made the right call this time anyway.

Of course the DQ was bogus, the outcome wasn't ever affected, the horse who got placed up was lugging in and had some sort of problem and galloped out horribly and had very limited talent and that limited talent was exposed the other day, but i think the idea here remains that a jock should have time to claim foul if he wants to, not sure why the quick run to the elevator in a big race such at that. Anyone's guess as to why a race would go official so fast when it was obvious that at least one of the horse's in the lane didn't maintain an exact straight line (which seems to be the criteria these days).

To my knowledge there are no jurisdictions that hold making a race official until all jockey's weigh in. Quick Official with regard to weight has been in place in California for many years.

Sounds like sour grapes from the trainer. There is no reason the jockey couldn't tell the outrider in time that he wanted to claim foul. My guess is the jockey didn't think there was a foul.

Gee, I can't imagine why Violette is pissed. First, his horse is DQ'ed on a real iffy call in the FOY (Upstart beat Itsaknockout by about 20 lengths on Saturday) and then his jockey said he had no time to lodge an Objection on Saturday. And Pletcher benefits both times.
Why indeed be a sore loser!

Same with New Jersey. The NJRC introduced "quick official" back in the 80's.

Yes, the very same Don who won over 4500 races. He is serving as a steward at Gulfstream Park for their 2015 winter-spring meet only...
