If that was SRU downs, there would be a certain protocol for DQs and whatnut. But, since tracks take horses down on occasion, i was commenting on the current state of DQs in the game which is that the happen sometimes. I dont have a problem with this DQ, it was hard to make a case to leave up the 6.

Interesting inquiry at TuP....60-1 wins by a nose, 1-5 shot finishes 2nd. a little bumping in the lane....its still blinking

Seems like a bogus DQ on "Old Salt" from Jan 11 at Turfway (Race 1).

Bit of a drift but nothing major and the Saltmeister was strong to the wire he was just accelerating late, the 2pf wasn't ever going to beat him. bad call there, too ticky tack for me, didn't affect the outcome.

SA 1st today...Rider of Objects...On backstretch shortly after the start, Head on says he tried to go through a hole that just wasn't large enough...Stews left the result as is...
Good non call.

LOL at FG Race 7, the 4 crashes into the 5 and beats her by a nose and there's no change because it "didnt affect the outcome"

Incredible.

I thought the stewards made the wrong call in the GP finale on Sunday. I don't think Ward's other runner ever was bumped and he had room to duck to inside turning for home. As for the additional bearing out, the 11 was pretty well clear. IMO no change would've been right call.

******* Back to back Steward takedowns at Gulfstream --Sunday and Monday. I agree with you that Sunday's finale was a weak DQ. Every player at my simulcast table said it should remain up "as is." Took another one in similiar fashion on Monday...it cost me the late pick six, pk five and pk four. %#%&# Just another reminder: There are a thousand ways to lose at this game...only one way to win!

The two calls I saw made yesterday were good IMO, takedown at GP and the leave up in R5 at SA, which was similar to the Bayern incident.

Incredible.

Did the 5 lose action? Did the 5 lose ground as a result of the contact?
Define "crash"....Cuz if my car "crashes" into yours, we're filling out a police report.

2-21, Gulfstream race 4. The non DQ of House Rules?

I think it would have been a DQ if the 5 doesn't get second, but since she did, good call.

Not sure why there was even an inquiry once they 5 was up for 2nd. Not sure why the guy objected either, don't these jocks know that if it doesn't affect the outcome they're not getting placed up there?
