Laurel Race 3 6/4
 

One of the worst DQ's I have ever seen.

I watched it a few times and still don’t even know what the foul was but I did notice who owns the 4 horse.

Cherry on top is I just bet Swashbuckle at Belmont.

I give up.

I'm still trying to understand how this horse got DQ'd. I realize Laurel doesn't get the focus of other tracks, but this was robbery.

...looked like the 4 clipped heels with the 3 at the 5/8 pole after the 3 moved outin front of her, but why he called an objection on the 6, who knows :rolleyes:
Equibase chary notes the 4 clipped heels as well

I just cant see that DQ happening in NY or KY, unless I have money on it

Yeah the 3 moved out slightly, but on the pan it looks like she was at least a length and a half clear when she did. Hard to tell of course. I know the 4 took up slightly, but she was beat almost 30 lengths.

Seems kind of crazy to DQ based on a slight check, where the video is pretty inconclusive and the horse that was impacted (barely) was beat 30 lengths.

Another reason why we all need our heads examined to play this game.

:tro:

The pan shot shows the 3 was well clear when he moved out. The head on is misleading. Gaudet must be fuming. Never clipped heels with the 3

On second thought...it was a good DQ

Not sure if it was a good DQ or not but finally saw the angle of the foul and at least now understand it. I did point out Stronach Stables benefitted from it so wanted to at least acknowledge that. Big thing here is why is it so hard to give greater transparency? I didn’t bet the race but if I had I’d be pretty heated. I can live with some decisions I disagree with but when you add in this element of seemingly not caring about the customer…
