I believe a horse should be taken down for that, but the Stewards have allowed that kind of behavior, and a jockey's responsibility is to do what he or she is legally allowed to do in order to win a race. I am not at all surprised the result stood, and actually think it is consistent with the decisions our Stewards make. Whether you or I agree with them is a completely different conversation.

At the end of the day, as bettors this is all we can ask and hope for. Going forward, I have a feeling that this race will be the measuring stick for any type of herding infraction/DQ because this one really had to toe the line.
