Tony Maragh In 19Aug18GP4
Possibly the worst ride of the year. Doubt it's the last we'll hear about this. Margin of defeat was half a head. With the slightest encouragement MUSICAL HEART wins. From the chart...
"MUSICAL HEART reserved racing wide and UNASKED while trailing field in the early stages, began to move up closer racing wide STILL UNASKED in the turn, entered the top of the stretch eight wide and continued to gain WITHOUT BEING PERSEVERED WITH."
Wrote the stewards an email about it. Rider needs to be fined and serve a lengthy suspension.

That was a suspect ride to say the least. Even if he didn't go to the stick, he needed to vigorously hand ride the horse to the wire. He did neither.

Is this a chart expression more commonly used for Gulfstream races than others? Curious. I suspect not, since I've seen it at BEL, SAR, and other places, but if you start searching a lot of charts, it seems rather more COMMON occurance at Gulfstream.
Why is that?

Got this response from someone with the juice to do something about this.
"We opened a investigation with the Stewards and security team.
All over it."

Having a hard time finding a motive why Maragh wouldn't want to win the race.
Save an allowance condition? They would have gotten 24K, instead of 8400 for 2nd, by winning.

Best part of the video is when announcer says coming out of the turn the two horses have slit their own throat.
Terrible ride. No excuses.

GOTCHA! CAMERA CATCHES CHARLES TOWN CLERK, JOCKEYS FUDGING
Sponsored by:
by Paulick Report Staff | 11.17.2010 | 12:46am
By Ray Paulick
Michael Garrison had his occupational permit revoked and he was fined $1,000 and suspended indefinitely as the clerk of scales at Charles Town Races & Slots in West Virginia after an investigation determined he was not reporting overages of assigned weights of riders weighing out before races. Seven jockeys were suspended 30 days and fined $1,000 each for violation of the West Virginia rules of racing pertaining to riding weights and dishonest or corrupt practices.
Garrison was escorted off the Charles Town premises by security personnel following the first race March 27, according to chief steward Danny Wright and association steward Robert Lotts. Acting on an anonymous tip, track security had installed surveillance cameras in the weigh-out area adjacent to the clerk of scales office and Garrison was allegedly observed being derelict in his duties by not reporting overweights of the riders.
After hearings were conducted on Wednesday, the fines and suspensions were announced. The seven jockeys suspended are: Alexis Rios Conde, Tony Maragh, Anthony Mawing, Luis Perez, Lawrence Reynolds, Jesus Sanchez, and Dale Whittaker. The suspensions are effective from today (April 9) through May 8.
I don't think that the fact trainer and jockey have the same last names has NOTHING to do with how this race unfolded?

Let's see, away poorly, unnecessarily wide, and rode with the enthusiasm of one who clearly did not want to win.
It's a shame he gets a 2nd place paycheck for that race.

well now seeing all the connections that were involved it definitely was some kind of pre planned event.
I dont know why anyone is shocked, while not all racing executives can be classified as not caring about the bettor way to many at the top surely do not.
