He didn't take the steward's telephone call...

Rome said one of the stewards tried to call him after the race on Saturday night to explain the decision, but he chose not to take the call or call back because he felt he didn’t need an explanation.

... a kick in the junk.
That pretty much makes a phone call unnecessary. 
Bet the new owners are lining today to get in on this game.

In Rome's interview with Simon Bray that aired on TVG a few days ago, Rome said Baffert called him and insisted that he didn't instruct Victor to carry SB wide. The way Rome told this story, it seemed that it was pretty important to Baffert that Rome didnt' think he (Bob) was behind this mugging.

That's why the stewards are full of crap....with the "speculation" speech. I imagine the owners don't want to hear that either. What "speculation"? The main pace competition was taken out. These are the kind of people they hire to officiate racing. They don't even know when the complexion of the biggest race is ruined. Somehow it's not speculation to assume the race was not compromised by that start? Go figure.....  The owners are too busy for this kind of moron explanation. Who can blame them?

Jim Rome talks about the game and his own highs and lows as an owner.

The point is that a guy like Rome who has a mic and an audience can point out the problems and use that media to perhaps "put the fear of God" into the Stews in CA.....
Or maybe the Stews will simply ignore Rome because unless the CHRB takes notice, nothing will happen to the Stewards....

I think the overhead shot from the blimp conclusively shows the stewards decision was correct.
It was also extremely consistent with decisions made on similar circumstances at the start of races in Southern California.

What makes Rome credible on racing? And why would he rate some special explanation from the stewards? Nobody likes being ripped, especially on national tv by a hip, acid-tongued celebrity, but major league judges had better develop thicker skins than that.

The blimp view is interesting and seems different, but the word on the street was that SB was 'banged up' after the race, is there another part of the race where SB might have been banged up?

Just before passing the finish line for the first time Mike Smith was standing up strangling Shared Belief, and he may have clipped heals or was bumped again there. I believe that incident cost him the race more than the gate incident.
