Really? I thought the objective was to try to win the race for YOUR horse. Not to AID or HINDER another. Isn't that really what they have stewards for?

And how did Garcia really ride brilliantly? He rode like a PUNK and ASSED out with a ridiculous decision by the stewards. Is that something to laud? Do you want the stewards to continue the insanity?

Well thought out. And this **** only works if you have a bunch of incompetents as the 'ruling' body.

The interesting thing is in a high speed game with reckless participants nobody is immune from bad luck.

I think you need to go back in the IGGY BIN with Fischer and the rest of the idiots cause I can never make any sense of your ****. HEADS UP.

Yup. Obviously they included other factors but I am certain that figured into it.

That's quite an accusation.

I am certain it had absolutely nothing to do with it and the race from Belmont Day never entered their minds.

what was in their minds then?

That Saez fouled the third finisher. Sorry....he did. It is probably reasonable to assume that they believed he did it out of frustration for being race-ridden the entire contest by Garcia....as well as his frustration over his overall trip and subsequent defeat. But, the bottom line is that Saez fouled the other horse.

However, I am not saying I think it was a great decision, and I could easily argue the other side. But, I can offer a likely scenerio as to what they were thinking.

that wasn't much of a foul if you ask me, and didn't cost the horse a chance at a better placing.

do you think the call was fair? i don't.

I told you what I think.

I'm rarely a fan of DQs in general. That shouldn't be a surprise.

I know, I know but it is just my opinion. I wasn't surprised with the take down. I could argue the other way as well. Just my opinion.
