I had the

to win and luckily a cover on the

/

exacta. I figured the

was going to come down. I saw the same thing as you..

came over several lanes and slammed into the

causing a loss of momentum.

When you get these 50/50 calls that the stews probably flipped a coin, I'd rather they make no change unless the foul is clearly(which should be more like 95/5) shown.

The inconsistent results do nobody a real favor.

Its not even a 50/50 call. When the 4 came out at the top of the lane, the 1 also came in, Than, the 1 lugged onto the winner the entire final 70 yards pushing him down on the fence. The bump didnt cost the 1 the race, he pushed the winner down at the wire and he still couldnt win, he had every chance while causing most of his own problems.

Neutral onlooker here-no money riding.

The

drifted in ever so slightly while at the same time the

bore out hard. Then, kept drifting with the

while bumping the

2 more times.

In deep stretch, they both drifted inward, but the

again slammed into the

hard near the finish.

Not easy, but still enough there to DQ. Sorry.

You watched a different race. The 1 pushed the 4 down onto the inside the final yards, there was no "slam" at all.

As far as the 1 drifting "ever so slightly" it doesn't matter, he drifted in, so he was part of his own problem.

None of any of this "contact sport" stuff cost the 1 the race. He was lame, he wasnt game and had every shot, the jock never stopped riding, he didnt "drop back" when he was bumped and he pushed the 4 down to the rail at the end. He wasnt 'cost the race' and that is the 'standard of proof' that So Cal uses.

Well, sometimes they use it.

Vic Stauffer might be able to explain the DQ. I heard he is one of the 3 Stooges, errrr, I mean Stewards, at Del Mar this week.

No problem at all with that DQ, thought it would be tough to keep the 4 up even from the pan shot. Once the head on was showed, no brainer in my opinion. Now if they left it, I could live with that because I always favor no DQ, but tough to argue against this one.

Yeah, he pushed the

down inside. Oooooooooooooook. Watch it once more. They drifted in together and then the

leaned out late. Sorry, we only see what we want to see. Do I like these arguable DQ's, no, but I do see why the horse came down.

I don't agree with it. The one didn't deserve to have the stewards hand him the win. He managed to take the lead even after the so-called foul and still couldn't hold on. When two horses stagger home, neither clearly superior to the other, I don't like to see the result manipulated.

RXB · 08-13-2014, 07:54 PM

I think the winner should've stayed up. I've seen worse calls, I wouldn't call it a terrible decision but I don't agree with it.
