I wish there was one I could hang my hat on, I really do

IMO, there are two jocks, when healthy, who are both consistent and give honest courageous rides, frequently offering surprising value:

Rajiv Maragh

Junior Alvarado

Of course I bet the fouled horse that finished third today so a DQ won't help...geez.

Is this where I complain about my + exacta box in SAR 2 today, where the legit DQ from 1st to 3rd restored the rightful place spot of the , but put in the winners circle, ruining the true exacta that would have granted me my 16/1 proposition?

Yes this is where you 'air your gripes'. Sorry about the theft that was perpetrated on you.

Did anyone see the 9th at Finger Lakes yesterday. I thought it should have been a obvious DQ,but the number stayed. I made a small bet in between the Saratoga races and thought I was going to be rewarded. Since,I am a firm believer that you never know with stewards,I am not shocked it stayed. Just interested in whay others thought who saw the replay. Thanks

Disgraceful take down at Saratoga in the 6th race.. makes me sick.. would like to like what others like . i will admit i might be biased just slightly here... but it seems they just were itching to change the results in this one... 2 was clear of the 3!.. it didn't cost him shit in placings either

#2 Juba was DQd from 2nd to 3rd from a stewards objection for interfering with Sassicaia in the stretch. The replay purported to show the incident that got the result changed where Juba ran right through Sassicaia, cutting him off, but a few seconds earlier in he stretch, the same thing happened, but Sassicaia recovered and caught up, which prompted the second incident—so in my opinion, either of the cut offs should have been enough to cause the DQ.

Sorry if you lost money in the race. I didn't have any wagers on this one. It did look to me like the 2 clearly cut off the 3. Even if he was clear of the 3 by then, if he ran a straight line, it would have given the 3 a chance to come back, but when he took his lane (2x) it did not.

This nyra is a rough place, so many DQs here makes you wonder if its all worth it. I know personally DQs get me older and make my stress levels go up, I've been taken down for massive amounts of money at least twice in career but never been put up for anything close, I'm about a small house in Toledo Ohio behind.

Just had one at DMR race 2. Had a few bucks on the at 28-1. maldonado comes up the rail without sufficient clearance and they dq the to 2nd. Horrible.

I've never suffered a big loss or hit a big windfall via DQ, but I agree that NYRA is getting to be a bit much. I had to suffer through the inquiry in the 7th today at the Spa, before they left the Recepta stay up - and since the horse was much the best, it would have been a puker to let Junior get away with that acting job.....

He's acting because he knows they take down a ton of horses for the smallest things, why not try and steal one.

I agree and again NO consistency at all

Lot of DQ's at the Spa this year and the Jocks are on to it.

Risky move by JA almost cost Mott a 2nd place finish.

This move by Jr. was the equivillant of a basketball flop in my opinion.

[EMD4ME]

I think the Stewards at the SPA have BEEN CONSISTENT and GREAT. Have not disagreed with a single decision.

Time to give credit and not blast them every time. This has been the best meet that I ever remember from a consistency stand point.
