WORST DQ I'VE EVER SEEN - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

Check out the 2nd race today at Laurel.

Taken down and placed 2nd behind

who was on the inside.

I saw the coverage live on TVG so I don't have a link. I'm sure CJ will bust my balls for that.

If someone can find and post it you WILL NOT BELIEVE they took that horse down. Really bad.

It was shitty, but who cares?

It put a 7/5 over a 2/1 in a 6 horse meaningless race.

It's a troll question. But I'll bite. The people who bet on and own

probably care.

That's a preposterous takedown. Maybe fine the rider for making it a LITTLE tight, MAYBE, but that horse should not have come down.

Randall thanks for posting.

This is a much better replay than what I saw live and was sent on a grainy I Phone.

I must retract what I initially said.

I don't think this call was incorrect. The rider on the outside did in fact put pressure on the inside horse just before the wire.

My bad. Sorry.

I have to agree with your first assessment Vic. I know my eye is not as trained as yours but it looked like kind of a bad DQ
to me. If the

were running mid pack and made a sweeping move to the front in the stretch and then banged the

I could see it. But as the

was clearly in front I think it could have stayed

Even if you're correct. Which you may be. Taking the

down was far from the WORST DQ I've ever seen. I overreacted without seeing the replay from the MUCH BETTER views that REPLAY RANDALL provided.

I agree, I am just talking about this race. This is hardly the worst.

One of the things I saw with the better views was the tracks the horses left on the sloppy track. After the wire as they are galloping out. Look at the path's the horses took. I think it helps show the inside horse had a clear path, which he's entitled to and that was taken away by the outside horse who appears to initiate contact. I'd love to know if the rider on the outside horse thinks he would have won had he gone perfectly straight and not "race ridden" the inside horse?

Take him down.

The

continued gamely, bulling into the

when that rival drifted in, in deep stretch.

The

was also in contention, and it wasn't clear the the

had a certain win.

Tough beat. I respect everyone's opinion. Hope we both get the next one in our favor.

Looks like the 8 came in, impeding the 5 at 3:49 of the video.

lamboguy · 12-22-2018, 05:12 PM

that horse had no right to come down. but i saw a worse one with NICHOLES DREAM a decade ago at The Mountain with lots of show money on her.
