The DQ (or non-DQ) complaint thread - Page 79 - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

Surprised not even a look from the stewards in the 1st at Saratoga today...I thought the winner came in very late, pushed the runner up over a path or two & cost the horse behind them the 3rd place finish as that horse checked late. This would've been the type of DQ bettors loathe as the winner was clearly best, but I have to think his actions cost another horse a better placing & that's often enough to bring on the DQ. I might've been too biased on this replay having bet the runner-up, but anyone else see this similarly?

6 dq'd what's your call?

I think it could have almost gone either way, say 60 40 no dq

i thought this dq. i think in the fifth was very questionable. . the horse did come over but it looked like it was clear. the other horses altered course but i didnt see either of them checked or really even steadied. looked like a fairy routine maiden race except for the DQ,

Watch the stretch run inside the 1/16 pole.
To me it appeared as though the

Looking at the video on both the pan and head on, I see the

The Stewards ruled interference on the

Anyway...Please view video and comment. Thanks.

The 3 had no shot at a placing in deep stretch. Maybe it was a foul but they wisely let that go.

DQ on the 6 was ticky tacky, seen horses get hit with a bulldozer and they stay up but it could've cost the 5 4th, so a justifiable DQ as the jock did not correct his horse in a timely mannor.

BTW,$290 was a typo..The amount was $20 each.....

Horrible DQ on Tuesday at Fairmount.

Yeah..I realized the

was out of gas from the get go. What caught my eye was the reaction by the rider when he snatched up the horse.
I am well aware of jockeys who embellish to get a reaction from the Stewards.
After looking at the head on, I saw the

carry the

out several paths and continue taking an outward course with no real effort to straighten...

I watched the 5th at Canterbury today(8-28) the original order was 3-6-9-1. The objection goes up and they flash the 9 and 1.

The 1 got squeezed in between the 9 and 8 in the stretch, the 8 clearly came over into him and the 9 pretty much held his path.

They take the numbers down and make it 3-9-1........

They said the 6 caused the 8 to drift out, the 6 moved one or 2 paths to the outside in the lane, but was at least 2 lengths clear of the quitting 8, who made a sharp move to the right well after the 6 already straightened out..

August 29 northfield race 3...complete disgrace

EMD4ME · 09-02-2016, 03:54 PM

STUPID CASTELLANO HITS THE RAIL (by whipping right handed on a baby in tight quarters), BOUNCES INTO THE WINNER AND THEN CLAIMS FOUL??????????

HE SHOULD BE FINED AND SUSPENDED FOR THIS BS FOUL CLAIM.

Please tell me he didn't claim foul and that was just the 3 blind mice wanting to look at it.

Then I take my comments back (about his foul claim). He is still stupid for whipping right handed on a baby while in tight quarters.

Terrible DQ in the 1st @ SAR. Horse just collapsed.

thespaah · 09-03-2016, 05:18 PM

comes in....bang..

comes out bang. Then they both come together. bang.
Dead Heat.
I say leave it alone. Watch head on
BTW Exactas pay 47 with the

on top, 43 with the

on top...Of course those will be chopped
Update. Stewards deemed no change in order. And rightly so

On that exchange I agree. Drifting across the track inside the quarter-pole to impede and force the

to find something resembling a path to run in I'm not so sure about.

IMO this resembled a case of "pay for your own damages".....You're both at fault.
Neither filly took a very straight path.
Quite frankly, the rules seem to be somewhat different for two year olds.
