I was giving a lot of the benefit of the doubt to the stewards. When Canon told me that they told him that Ben moved in 2 lanes, then all bets ( literally) were off because that did not happen

htye told him two-lanes ? really wow. I guess they were refering to the lines in the dirt

So does that mean we are driving to Louisville and finding us some stewards?

I was so friggin' happy that I had already started buying rounds of beers before I knew there was an inquiry..which I guess started as an objection..which I guess didn't even involve Ben originally

disappointing that they took action on something they haven't always
and the favorite absolutely did smack the other horse in the nose. It made the slight move by the winner seem dramatic.

Scavs I have had BIG longshots taken down simply for being BIG longshots. I don't have all the replays but I have it burned in my mind. I really like to know the reasons they do what they do. On more than one occasion I have had long shots get knocked off their pins and there has been nothing done but have a jockey pop up when they get unexpectedly passed by a long shot and boom.

It's a real shame they have no one to answer to.

I told Dellinger that if that happened when SumWon runs at AP that you guys would storm the steward's room. Full riot gear

:rolleyes: no but if one were to be crossing the street :D

I watched the head on the 20 times they showed it. No way did he move 2 lanes.

I'll repost from a different thread...Thank you to all you guys at AP today who were in full spirit for Ben. I know it's "only" a 15K claimer at CD, but it was such a rush watching him down the stretch.

Brutal.. Ridiculous.. Outrageous..
 

Just watched this for first time...

While obviously supportive of Chuck, I have to say that this was about as egregious a steward outrage as you'll ever see. Disgusting. Sorry it went this way Chuck...

Geez it was tough. watching him win, going outside at Arlington to celebrate hearing there was an inquiry, then when he was taken down it was like a kick in the balls. GBBob will get his win, hopefully on the 12th in his own backyard.

By the way Steve, once again you went overboard. Thanks for all the prizes recieved for the Belmont pic 6. Hopefully you'll make it next week....

I'm in !

I had just finished sharing my story with Bob about how that was the very first time I had been with a horse's owner when his or her horse won a race.

And then it came down. A load of crap, after watching it again last night.

I shouldn't have hugged Steve....That probably doomed Ben

I enjoyed it.....
