10th at Parx

Should the winner have been taken down in a $1,000,000 race? It was a really close call to make.

MG was all over the track whilst MB kept a straight course (when she could)

Valid dq.

In my humble opinion there may never have been an easier decision. I suspect you are joking or just trying to start a discussion.

I didn't think it was a sarcastic question. This was a VERY VERY close, tough decision IMO. I would have voted to DQ but can understand anyone who thinks it could have been left alone.

In NY she would have stayed up as herding is not only allowed but encouraged.

I have certainly seen worse that didn't get taken down. But I think it was pretty clear Mike would have won without that horse crossing twice. And I meant to say "not" being sarcastic.

Watching the race live I thought she would and should be taken down. Also was thinking that I have seen them playing bumper horse in the stretch at that track and nothing was done. The right decision IMO.

I thought she should come down...and was glad that she did.

This dude wasn't.

Edit to add: Gentlemen, this guy has MG coming out only one and one half paths! Seriously.

He does a good job of minimizing the actions of MG. Drifting in two paths and cutting off her opponent, then drifting out 5 paths until the wire would be a more accurate description. Does make a good point on Stewards not commenting on their decisions. Would like to here their point of view.

The reason for decisions are always in the stewards minutes submitted to the state.

Do agree it would be better if they were made available right after a decision.
